Trinity Fellowship Ministries (TFM) Church without Walls
We appreciate your interest in Trinity Fellowship Ministries (TFM) Church without Walls and welcome you to learn about us, the pastors, and our ministry. Thank you for taking time to read up on us and to find out if we are a good fit for your new home. Please take a moment to read about our pastors and the ministries we provide as we reach out to the lost and hurting.
Trinity Fellowship Ministries (TFM) started as a Bible Study on the book of Revelation. At the time Pastor Bill was youth pastor at Church in the Wind, a Biker church that started in Denver, Colorado and now has several church plants around the world. As a fresh graduate of a seminary class, Pastor Bill felt the call to turn his Bible Study into a home church.
Our goal for TFM was to be a church that actively reached out to those who may have been hurt by the Church, or just organized religion, as well as to seek out the lost with the saving news of a risen Savior. We set out to start a faith-based ministry that went beyond mere Christian study. We wanted to be set apart in our principles and bring meaning to having a real relationship with Christ, as Followers of the Way ( Acts 9:1-2). We started our church in May of 2001 at a kitchen table and began a journey through scripture and modeling our study after the Church in Berea mentioned in Acts 17:10-12, we used scripture to understand scripture and fleshed it out till all understood. We have been a small church with a big heart ever since.
Then came the lockdowns! We could no longer meet in our homes for church, so we turned to Facebook live. On Easter of 2020 we started an online live streaming ministry called Church without Walls to reach out to those who were hurting and to the lost with the gospel message of Jesus Christ and were not able to attend in person. The Lord has reached out to several hundreds of people around the globe including across the United States as well as Bangladesh, Canada, New Zealand, Russia, and Sri Lanka. We are so blessed that the Lord has used our ministry to reach out far more than we could ever fit at a single kitchen table.
As we take the next step of our online presence, we invite you to explore scripture and to learn basic Christian principles so you too can be a Follower of the Way, walking with Christ through your day.
About Pastor Bill
I have been doing ministry for more than 40 years. Starting at the age of 13 as a missionary for Child Evangelism Fellowship, a Vacation Bible School (VBS). I married the love of my life at 19 and quickly became a happy father of four beautiful children. At 26 I became the youth pastor at Church in the Wind, a Biker Church in Denver, Colorado. These experiences taught me to love others as they are.
After three church planting conferences in five years, I (finally) surrendered to the Call and planted a home church. Trinity Fellowship has been my home since 2001. I have a Masters in Apologetics from BIOLA University, and this taught me to love debating. I learned through life’s experiences and now have a greater appreciation of everything that is good in this world. This includes my fabulous children (including the unofficially adopted ones) and my four wonderful grandchildren. I love the opportunities that being a pastor have offered me: praying for others, being part of healings, teaching Truth. I live by the Truth of 2Timothy 4:2, seeking to always be ready to encourage, teach, and love.
About Teresa
Who am I? I am a quirky, embrace-my-weird, sanctified, forgiven child of God. I came to a saving knowledge of Christ through a non-emotional, very intellectual discussion, led by my then-boyfriend Bill. I had our four children early and was able to be home with them for the first several years. Ministering alongside Bill, I became an ad-hoc youth worker, enabling us to “gather” several other teens into our fold. We have been enriched and blessed by the addition of other persons into our family. Ministry continued through the difficulties that life in a fallen world brings, and eventually I began working with Women’s Ministries.
Currently I teach for TFM (Trinity Fellowship Ministries) and am a full helper with Church without Walls, our online presence. I am also a dually licensed clinical therapist and addictions counselor and bring those skills to the church body as well. I am blessed to be Nannie with 4 fabulous grandchildren and I seek to engage in relationships with all of our kids (not all are biological as we “adopted and gathered” several to us over the years), in hopes that they can smile at my weird. Won’t you come and join us in a place where you won’t be judged but instead be fostered into a greater understanding and loving relationship with our Father? Ps- humor is one way I live out taking captive every thought ( 2Cor 10:5).
