We lead people to follow Jesus and build His church.
Our Story
Trinity New York is a spirit-led, mission-minded, and encouraging church in New York City.
Pastors Taylor & Kristen Wilkerson moved to NYC in January 2015 to revitalize an old church called Glad Tidings Tabernacle. With only 4 remaining members, they began meeting in their apartment for bible studies. After announcing on social media that they would be relaunching as Trinity, over 50 new people showed up for an interest service. They began to serve their community and preach the message of Jesus! Through obedience to God’s call, Trinity has seen lives transformed with the simple mission to lead people to follow Jesus and build His church. Trinity now serves two locations, both Harlem and the East Village. Our vision is to see our entire city and beyond touched by the love of Jesus.
In 2024, we are declaring “YOU TOO WILL PROSPER” over our church and city. Jeremiah 29:7 tells us, “Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” God has called Trinity to New York, so we are believing for peace and prosperity! Our world may be in a season of shifting, but we are holding firm to seeking all God has for New York City and our church.
Our Values
Jesus Is Our Message
We are most committed to the preaching of Jesus. Our message is everything. We are Jesus people, not religious people. Methods will come and go, yet our message will remain the same.
People Are Our Heart
Our heart is for ALL people. All people are loved by Jesus. We make no apologies for being specifically focused on reaching the lost. We desire to bring the broken home at all costs. We believe that our light is best seen in the night.
Generosity Is Our Privilege
Generosity is about giving more than what is required. We see generosity as a privilege. We are generous with our time, talents and treasure. We go first in our giving. God has given richly towards us, it is our honor to give back to Him.
Excellence Is Our Spirit
We are always going to do the best with what we have. We are on time, engaged and prepared. We do not do things half way. If we are going to do it, we are going to do it to the best of our ability.
Servant Leadership Is Our Identity
If you’re too big to serve then you are too small to lead. We believe the greatest leadership is service to others. Every leader is a servant first. From the sidewalk to the pulpit, everyone serves. Every role is different but they are all important.
Honor Is Our Calling
We are vocal with our honor, meaning we are not stingy with our words. We submit to leadership and are thankful for spiritual authority. We choose joyfully to submit to those God has placed over us. We honor and care for those God has placed under us.
Passion Is Our Pursuit
Everything we do, we do it with passion. From our worship to our service we do it with Holy Spirit Energy. Passion drives us. Passion for Jesus. Passion for people. Passion for His church.
