About Trailhead Christian Fellowship Church

Making and maturing disciples to the glory of God!

Trailhead is a non-denominational church made up of people from many different backgrounds, interests, and life stories who have a desire to understand the point of the Bible – the gospel of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God – and how it affects every aspect of our lives.  Our desire is to proclaim the full counsel of God’s Word, and to show how each part of Scripture points to Christ. It is our belief that as we behold the glory of Christ in every part of Scripture, we will be changed.
