Slogan

Making Jesus Christ supreme in all things and for all peoples.

Trinity Evangelical Free Church (TEFC) is a faith community in the Upper Valley of Vermont whose spiritual heritage in New England reaches back to 1785 when it was incorporated as the First Baptist Church of Windsor. In 1974 Trinity was renamed after being associated with the Evangelical Free Church of America.

Our church family desires to glorify God by helping people to know Jesus personally, to follow Him completely and to make Him know broadly

Our distinctives include:

  • In essentials: Unity
  • In non-essentials: Liberty
  • In all things: Charity

We Value at Trinity:

Being TRUE WORSHIPERS

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24

  • Be acknowledging Jesus’ supremacy and sovereignty in all facets of life.
  • Be obediently relying on scripture and the Holy Spirit to guide us.
  • By knowing and loving God and all people.

Standing TOGETHER

“From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” Ephesians 4:16

  • As an authentic family learning to love each other unconditionally.
  • As a community that practices the “one another” admonitions in the NT.

Being TRANSFORMED

“For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.” Romans 8:29

  • Through intentional and radical discipleship.
  • Through preparing and equipping the flock to love and good deeds.

Becoming TANGIBLE TRANSMITTER’S of Jesus’ blessings

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19
