Trinity Staff & Leadership

At Trinity we believe strongly that our ministers are all the members of the congregation, men and women, young and old. We are passionate about equipping and releasing the next generation of Christian leaders, pastors, worship leaders, church planters, and missionaries.

SCOTT SMITH

LEAD PASTOR

Pastor Scott has been in pastoral ministry since 1987 and began serving at Trinity in 1995. He has served as a youth pastor, a children's pastor, and became the Lead Pastor in 2019. Pastor Scott received his Bachelor's and Master’s degrees from Pacific Christian College in Fullerton, California.

Scott grew up going to church, but at sixteen he noticed a group of his peers were totally sold out for Jesus. God convicted him that there was more to life than trying to be good and going to church, so he completely surrendered his life to Jesus, was baptized in the Holy Spirit, and has been serving Jesus ever since. Scott married his wife, Andrea, in 1992 and is blessed with three children, Noah, Eden, and Samuel. He loves sports, hiking, reading, going to movies, playing games like Scrabble and Backgammon, and exploring new fine dining restaurants. He is also an avid Suns, Cardinals and Diamondbacks fan.
