LEAD PASTOR TRANSITION

TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH NAMES NEXT LEAD PASTOR

It is with great joy and excitement that we announced the results of the Special-Called Membership Meeting on November 16, 2025. Members voted to overwhelmingly affirm (98%) the Pastor Search Team’s recommendation that Pastor Kyle Stachewicz be called as Lead Pastor of Trinity Baptist Church. We are so grateful to each respective member for their prayerful participation in this transition process.

Pastor Kyle has accepted the call and will be in office beginning January 2026. His installation will be made official on Transition Sunday, January 4, during our 9 AM worship service.

Pastor Kyle and his wife, April, have been married for 12 years. They have six children between the ages of 3-11: Elanor (3), Caleb (5), Lillia (6), Elijah (8), Owen (9), and Calvin (11).

Your continued prayers are appreciated. We ask for your prayers for the Stachewicz family as they relocate and begin this new chapter in their ministry; for Pastor Mike and Angi as they transition into our fellowship; for the elders, pastor, and staff at TBC; and for our congregation.

We are so excited about what God is doing in, for, and through our church body! May the name of the Lord be glorified!
