Our Beliefs
And Faith

Trinity Christian Centre is an Assemblies of God church.

There are 16 Fundamental Truths that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. Out of the 16 Fundamental Truths, these are the 4 Cardinal Doctrines that are foundational. These 4 Cardinal Doctrines are illustrated in the 4 stained glass panels which were on Trinity@Adam (1995-2016).

1 The Inspired Scriptures

We believe… the Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.

2 The One True God

We believe… there is only One True God –revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

3 The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

We believe… in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s son Jesus was both human and divine.

4 The Fall of Man

We believe… there is only One True God –revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

5 The Salvation of Man

We believe… every person can have restored fellowship with God through ‘Salvation’ (accepting Christ’s offer of forgiveness for sin).

6 The Ordinances of the Church

We believe… though originally good, Man willingly fell to sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world

7 The Baptism in the Holy Spirit

We believe… the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.

8 The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost

We believe… there is only One True God –revealed in three persons…Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

9 Sanctification

We believe... sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.

10 The Church and its Mission

We believe...the Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.

11 The Ministry

We believe… a Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, and to build up or edify the body of believers - the Church.

12 Divine Healing

We believe… Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).

13 The Blessed Hope

We believe… in The Blessed Hope - When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time, all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with

14 The Millennial Reign of Christ

We believe… in the millennial reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. At that time, many in the nation of Israel will recognize and accept Him as the Messiah, the Savior who died for them and all mankind.

15 The Final Judgement

We believe… a final judgement will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punish lake of fire.

16 The New Heavens and the New Earth

We believe… and look forward to the perfect new heavens and a new earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him forever following His millennial reign on earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!

Our Story

  • 1970 ⁠— 1971

    Rev and Mrs Glenn Stafford

    Trinity had its humble beginnings in the personal residence of its
    founders, Rev and Mrs Glenn Stafford at 1 Freenleaf View in
    September 1969. The Staffords were missionaries from the
    Assemblies of God, America.
    Their hearts' cry was have a Pentecostal witness in District 11 of
    Singapore, so they started a prayer meeting with 10 people, including
    five from their family, in their home in September 1969. The weekly
    prayer meetings continued until April 1970 when the Staffords
    launched the first Sunday Service at No.2 Hillcrest Road in Bukit
    Timah. Trinity Christian Centre was birthed.
  • 1971 ⁠— 1974

    Rev and Mrs Raymond Busby

    July 1971 saw the handing over of the young church to another set of
    missionary pastors, Rev and Mrs Ray Busby. They grounded the
    church in the Word of God. More young people continued to attend
    Trinity and were led to Christ. This group of young adults would
    eventually become the core group of members and workers in Trinity.
  • 1974⁠ — 1976

    Rev and Mrs Robert Ferguson

    In February 1974, Rev and Mrs R Ferguson were sent as missionaries
    to continue the work in Trinity. Their faithful ministry saw rapid
    growth in the church, and Trinity had to relocate to the ballroom of
    Hotel Equatorial at Bukit Timah Road.
    Three buses were also chartered to bring people to church, packing
    the ballroom that seated 300. Trinity’s very first baptismal service
    was held in 1975, and so its first members came into being.
  • 1976 ⁠— 2005

    Rev Dr Naomi Dowdy

    Rev Dr Naomi Dowdy was a missionary evangelist at heart; the
    last thing she wanted to do was to pastor a church. So when God
    called her to pastor Trinity, she wrestled with Him: 'Not me! I’m
    an evangelist, not a pastor. I train pastors, not be a pastor'. Yet,
    she yielded to His will. In 1976, Rev. Naomi Dowdy was
    appointed as Senior Pastor.
    The congregation, then over 250 in number, outgrew the
    ballroom of Hotel Equatorial and relocated to the Regional
    English Language Centre. To win, nurture and disciple became
    Trinity’s mission. By the time she handed the church over to her
    successor Rev Dominic Yeo in 2005, Trinity had grown to
    become a church of global impact, with about 4,000 in
    attendance, three freehold properties in land-scarce Singapore
    and a strong missions program.
  • 2005 ⁠— 2023

    Rev Dominic Yeo

    Rev Dominic Yeo did not look any bit a leader or a pastor when he first came to Trinity. But God transformed his life radically and saved Him, despite him backsliding over and over again. Eventually, he surrendered himself to God: 'Not my will but Yours be done.' Having been nurtured and discipled in Trinity, this ‘son of the house’ has become spiritual father to many pastors and leaders today, his spiritual sons and daughters. In 2005, he was appointed as the first local Senior Pastor of Trinity. A man of strong prophetic insight, his visionary and strategic leadership has been pivotal in bringing Trinity to exponential growth. Today, Trinity is a growing church in the city of Singapore with more than 7,500 in attendance, of whom over 1,000 are lay leaders.

    As at March 12, 2023, Rev Dominic Yeo handed the leadership of Trinity to Rev Gerald Tan.
