— Sunday Mornings

 

Your first time at worship at a church can be an adventure when you do not know what to expect. At Trinity all services include music, preaching, an offering, and a time for public responses to God’s Word. Each service is slightly different.
 
What Do I Wear?   Modest/casual “as you are” to formal.  8:30 & 9:45 services with a Praise Team or acoustical worship you will see maybe one tie. 11:00 service with piano, organ & choir you will see more ties and dresses.

Worship at 8:30 a.m. is led by a Praise Band/Vocal Team made up of Trinity Baptist Church members. The singing, consisting of contemporary Christian tunes and ageless hymns, is done by the congregation with words projected on the screens for all to see. Our Pastor, John Wheat, brings the message and a time of response at the end allows those in attendance to make spiritual decisions. The offering is taken at the end.

The History of the Victor

Spring is upon us, which means it is Victor season at Trinity. This will be my second year directing The Victor and I am very much looking forward to it. The Victor, in case you are not familiar with it, is a musical drama presented annually on Palm Sunday weekend by the worship ministry at Trinity.
 
It is a powerful and meaningful illustration of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made in order to bring hope to the world through Him, our Savior, God’s Son.
 
Pastor John Wheat had a desire to do something special around Easter and approached Larry Danks, the minister of worship at the time. They invited a newcomer to Kerrville and to Trinity, Suzanne Harston, to join them in this endeavor. Suzanne has a degree in directing, a passion for Christ, and a servant heart. She has been a part of this project since the beginning; read her article at tbck.org where she tells the story of how it all got started.
 
It is a truly special event. I want to personally invite you to come experience The Victor with us this year, especially if you have never seen it. If you have been before, please invite someone new to come and experience it with you. We humbly present this as a gift to our community.
  
Thank you for the privilege of being part of what God is doing at Trinity Baptist Church!

Music Notes – February 2025

Worship in the churches I grew up in usually involved screaming guitars, strobing lights, drum solos, and powerful vocals. We took the “resounding cymbals” portion of Psalm 150 literally. It was this style of worship that always connected with me and is what drew me to those church services to hear the gospel preached every week. Now, as an adult I’ve grown an appreciation for all genres of worship and even love the traditional hymns and the incredible stories of the believers who penned them. It was always the expression of genuine worship and ascription of worth and honor to the triune God that drew me in.
 
Our local Trinity radio is home to many of these varying styles of genuine worship including a new show called Forged by Faith. Airing every Friday from 8-10 PM. Tune in to listen to vertical focused, Christ centered worship and Christian rock featuring songs from rap-rock, post-hardcore, pop-punk, post-grunge, metal, and more. We will rotate songs from the early to mid- 2000s as well as newer metal covers of classic worship songs. The goal being to always play passionate and powerful worship from artists that are unapologetically bold in their faith, delivering messages of hope and redemption through heavy instrumentation and biblically sound lyrical content.
 
Tune in every Friday from 8-10 PM for Forged by Faith. Christian rock and worship that passionately proclaims the greatness of God.
 
“He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.” Psalms 40:3

KCYR 101.5 LP FM

Did you know Trinity Baptist Church owns a radio station? KCYR 101.5 LP FM transmits right here from our steeple!
 
Riley Gordon, Misty Gordon and I have been working on improving it ever since we took over managing it in 2021. Over the last few years, we have had a lot of changes. We slimmed our format to be mostly music, commercial-free with only a few programs currently peppered into the mix.
 
We have strived to find Biblically-sound content – that also rocks. We carefully search the web to procure fresh music that you won’t hear on KLOVE. My musical vision for KCYR was modeled after an independent station I used to listen to that is based in Vermont. The goal was not only to have music be theologically sound as possible, but also SOUND good! We knew there had to be better content out there that wasn’t POP music. We canceled our contract with Salem Music, and brought all music in-house.
 
We had help from a local radio station owner, Justin McClure (JAM Broadcasting), who donated A LOT of his time, along with an entire library of Christian rock from a station he used to run in Stephenville years ago. It was a great start to our new in-house library which is growing all the time!
 
The next thing we tackled was putting together an app for our station! A few months ago, Riley and I began researching apps, and found one suitable for our station. Now, those of you who listen while in town, but can’t when you head back home, can keep on listening as long as you have a data signal! After much work, we’re excited to finally invite you to download the new KCYR app!!
 
Available in iPhone and Android platforms for free. No ads. You can listen anywhere, even outside the Kerrville city limits! There are options to like or dislike the songs, set notifications for a song you love and the app will let you know when it will play next. You can even send song requests!
 
Stay tuned for the following programs coming soon:
Bible Thinker with Pastor Mike Winger – Mondays/Saturdays at 7pm
Love Worth Finding with Adrian Rogers – Tuesdays/Saturdays at 8pm (Coming Soon!)
KCYR Coffeehouse – Saturday mornings at 6am (Coming Soon!)
