We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Trinity Presbyterian Church is a new church for Owasso & the region. It began as a prayer group in living rooms in 1997. Many who traveled to Tulsa for worship wanted a church in Owasso where people could “come as they are," a church where strugglers and doubters were welcome, a church where the gospel was central. This prayerful c
ore originated at Christ Presbyterian Church (PCA) and gained some interest from reformed Baptist and independent churches around town. For ten years that interest coalesced into an Owasso small group out of Christ Presbyterian Church (CPC). Nothing formal was done to plant a new church. Then in 2010 -- five years after RiverOaks Presbyterian Church (PCA) was planted in South Tulsa -- Pastor Ricky Jones lead a remnant of this core to “do something about it”. An incoate core group began to form in Owasso. Long-time Owasso residents were among the leaders of this new work. Beginning in the spring of 2010 Jones and others traveled from South Tulsa to preach and administer the sacraments to the Owasso core group once a month for evening worship at Freedom Church's building. About six months later Redeemer Owasso -- as it was first called -- began to meet weekly at the Owasso Sixth-Grade Center. During this time the group grew but lacked the resources to become more than a small satellite of RiverOaks Tulsa. In the summer of 2011 the pastoral search committee called Rev. Blake Altman whose family has Oklahoma roots to lead this congregation as their full-time pastor. In October 2011, the church took on its own identity as Trinity Presbyterian Church. In November 2012, the elders moved the weekly worship service from the Sixth Grade Center to Presence Theater where we they built a stable core group and received their first members on Easter Sunday. In June 2012, Trinity moved it’s services from Sunday evening to Sunday mornings at the Owasso YMCA where the membership grew. Seeking more room for families with children and finding no alternate venues to accommodate the growth Trinity invested into portable trailers and equipment to worship back to the Owasso Sixth Grade Center, this time using the gym for worship. The area formerly used as our worship venue in 2011 is now the greeting area for our junior high and high school students. In 2015 Trinity planted her first daughter church near Grand Lake from where eleven families were driving to worship in Owasso. In March of 2016 Pastor Mark Kuiper was installed as the pastor of Three Rivers Church (PCA) in Grove. In 2018 we planted our second daughter church with eleven families in Bartlesville. In 2019 Hope PCA Bartlesville called Peter Johnson to be their church planter, and in March 2021 installed their first elders and deacons. Today Trinity ministers in concert with CPC (1951), RiverOaks PCA (2005), Grace and Peace PCA (2013), Three Rivers PCA (2015) New City Fellowship (2018), Hope Bartlesville (2018) to extend the good news that you are more broken and sinful and you dare to imagine but also more loved and accepted than ever dared to dream at the same time in Jesus Christ. Trinity is a young church, but Trinity is not young in the structure of its beliefs. Trinity is reformed, evangelical and covenantal. Trinity embraces the historic Christian faith as expressed in the ecumenical creeds of the Church (e.g. It is also committed to the historic Presbyterian form of government and doctrine by its subscription to the Westminster Confession of Faith. Trinity is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a full member of the Acts 29 Network, and a partner church in The Gospel Coalition. We meet for worship on Sundays at 10am at Barnes Elementary, 7809 East 76th St N, Owasso, OK. We currently office and meet for mid-week youth gatherings at Trinity’s office on Garnett Rd across from Hobby Lobby.
