Our Story
Trinity Baptist Church was established in February of 1961 with 81
members. Over the years, God has continued to guide Trinity's leadership to be able to move forward with the erection of new buildings, refurbishment of older buildings, and acquiring additional acreage. There are now approximately 450 active members at Trinity.
Since its founding, Trinity has not only valued prayer for our missionaries but sees Apopka as its mission field. Because of this mindset, and through the leadership of Dr. Virgil Lovett, Trinity continued to be a growing ministry for Jesus.
Following a call from the Lord, Dianne Lovett sought to establish a Christian daycare with the vision of one day giving parents an alternative to public education. Seeing the need went beyond offering a Christian daycare, she and Dr. Lovett established Trinity Christian School in 1974. What started with just a preschool department, has now grown to over 400 children on campus, with ages ranging from babies to 12th grade!
In 2024, Trinity Christian School celebrated 50 years of Christian education. A true testament to God’s faithfulness!

Many of our members are Apopka natives and have generational family members still attending. We view this a strength as we try to develop a place where the whole family can serve together. Each of our members and regular attenders bring a unique perspective to the body of Christ.
The leadership of Trinity Baptist Church desires to reach our community for Christ. We preach the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Our purpose is the tell others about Jesus, so they too can come to know Him. In John 14:6 Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
We desire authenticity in both our encounters and our relationships and pursue a Kingdom mindset in all we do. We are a church that does not seek to be conformed to the culture but are transformed by the renewing of our life through Jesus Christ. We are a people who readily praise the name of Jesus Christ and aim to use the gifts and talents He has given us for His glory. We take the call to follow our Savior as a challenge to rise to each and every day. We place strong importance on the Word of God and study it with every opportunity available. Serving and loving others is not just a catch phrase but is a part of our DNA.
