ABOUT
Trinity Grace Church (TGC) began in 1986 when a few Christian families came together in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Founded as a non-denominational sister church to the Chinese Christian Union Church (CCUC) in Chinatown, we grew from these faithful roots to become an independent congregation in 2010. To better reflect our expanding vision and ministries, we officially adopted the name Trinity Grace Church in January 2020.
Today, celebrating 40 years of God’s blessings, TGC is a vibrant multi-generational community offering services and ministries in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. We are deeply committed to solid biblical teaching, caring for one another, empowering our children and youth, and spreading hope through local and global missions.
As part of our vision to grow, we also planted our Northwest campus (TGC-NW) in October 2019. Whether you are seeking a spiritual home or just exploring faith, there is a place for you here.
TGC Vision: We seek to be a community that is “Steadfast in Truth, Sacrificial in Grace, Sowing Seeds of Faith – All for the Glory of God.”
Explore what shapes Trinity Grace Church. Discover our leadership, our beliefs, and the values that guide our ministry below.
LEADERSHIP
We believe the New Testament teaches a plurality of elders as the model of church leadership. Our pastors/elders function primarily as shepherds who emphasize the ministry of the word, prayer, discipleship and the spiritual health of God’s people. Our deacons function as administrators, managers, &etc. Together, our elders and deacons mobilize our congregation to fulfill the Great Commission.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that God has spoken through the Scriptures clearly, authoritatively, and without error – and we believe that it is through these Scriptures where these fundamental truths are revealed.
VISIONS & VALUES
Our vision and values are the blueprint for how we believe God has strategically positioned our church to fulfill the Great Commission. They serve as the standard for what we want our community to be about and what we hope our church members become.
