The Truth Project - Coming to Trinity First Saturday mornings at 8:30 a.m. beginning April 5th. Try it, you'll like it! Attend the first session with no commitment at all.
Focus on the Family's DVD-based small group study designed to equip believers with a comprehensive Biblical worldview. Participants will be re-introduced to the truth claims of God. Twelve one-hour lessons discuss in detail God's design for living out the Christian worldview in daily life. It addresses the need to marry our actions with our core beliefs. What this curriculum does is nothing short of transformational.

"Given today's rampant relativism, it's more important than ever that believers demonstrate an unwavering commitment to absolute truth, and (this) is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of Scripture's teaching on some of the most important issues of our time." James C. Dobson, Ph.D., Founder & Chairman, Focus on the Family

"I wholeheartedly commend a project such as The Truth Project. It is a project so worthy of its name and its intent. I hope and pay that many will ... take advantage of it. The content of a project like this is the best gift you can give your children and yourself." - Ravi Zacharias, Present of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries

A Biblical worldview can mean the difference between deeply knowing and living in God's truths or endlessly seeking significance through worldly values and pursuits. It means knowing that God has a plan for everything and by following these plans we can have life to its fullest.
