Thank you LORD for making this story possible to share.

and we can really feel that.”
Arthur recalls that he had fallen
away from pursuing God in his life.
He’d been to college, gotten married,
had three children. He was longing to
get back to the Lord; it was during a
season of looking for human approval
and not finding it.
One day in October, though, he
came to the chapel alone. “I’d let Him
down,” he recounts. “My life had gone
so far away. I was just repenting and
saying ‘I want to change. I want to
accept you as my Savior.’ And that was
the turning point in my life of putting
my identity as what God tells me, and
not what people tell me.”
Ruble Center. Trinity Baptist
Church’s Ruble Center on 419 E.
Magnolia is a place where some of the
church’s most dramatic life changes
take place. Alpha Home, housed there,
leads women to recovery from chemical
addictions after following a
12-week treatment taking a faith-based
approach.
TriPoint Center. Mulberry, Highway
281 and St. Mary’s all converge together
at TriPoint. The building, home to
the D.R. Semmes Family YMCA and
state-of-the-art business meeting
rooms, is a three-minute drive from
the Mulberry campus. It’s also home of
a unique place to worship called,
“Crossings.” Pastor Les preaches there
three Sundays per month and Christopher
Mack preaches there once a
month. Crossings service attracts
Summer Moon Coffee Bar customers
as well as many neighbors and those
who used to shop at the Albertsons
which operated out of that building for
years before closing. Also, many of the
worshippers at Crossings come from
Alpha Home (a two-minute drive in the
other direction on East Magnolia).
T.A.C.O. Tuesday meets in The Hub
at TriPoint, offering free food, child
care and fellowship. About 40 come
weekly from all walks of life. The study
focuses on truth, assurance, commitment
and obedience and is “designed
for men and women of all ages who
want to explore the foundations of the
Christian faith.”
When I visited the Crossings service
at TriPoint one Sunday, three of the
members from Alpha Home Ministry
were in the front row, robed in white
and ready to be baptized. Their hands
were clasped together and held high,
singing with all their hearts. Two
women who’d moved from Alpha Home
into Universal City sat behind me. I
asked them how they liked Crossings
services. One of them said, “It’s a little
drive, but it’s definitely worth it.” The
other chimed in: “Nothing compares to
this church.”
Seventy years. Seven thousand souls
saved. Nothing compares to the love of
Jesus at Trinity Baptist Church and the
power of the Holy Spirit, which is still
going strong.
