	Doug Davidson, Senior Pastor Doug graduated from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School with a Master of Divinity Degree with an emphasis on world revolution, i.e. missions. He pastored at two churches prior to becoming a "tentmaker" missionary in East Asia for 5 years. Upon returning to the U.S., he served as Associate Missions Pastor of Grace Church in Edina, Minnesota for 7 years before becoming Senior Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Mesa, Arizona. "My passion is to make sure that we, as the Lord's church, are compelled by the love of God to transform people into followers of Christ through the power of the Spirit. We will be a church where people can be in touch with the living God and through Him then impact their world for Christ."
	Tim DeRosso, Pastor of Worship and Music Tim has been part of Trinity since July 2002 and has had 25 years of experience in worship and music ministries while serving in Oregon, Washington and California. “God has taught me that ministry flows out of being and the overflow of your heart. Your daily relationship with Christ and dependence on Him, and the Word of God directly influences ministry. Faithfulness and diligence in perfecting the gift God has given you is more important than talent. One must remain faithful, available and teachable.” Tim’s passion and creativity in expressing worship of God is evident in the worship services and specials events at Christmas and Easter.

In 1997 Pastor González graduate from the Nogales Baptist Seminary where he received a degree in Bible and Theology. He has helped to establish two churches in México, and worked as a Pastor-teacher and worship director in Nueva Vida church in Sonora, México.

He started Nueva Vida here at Trinity in February of 2002 and is now Pastor for Hispanic ministries and outreach. Mt. 22:39 said “…love your neighbor…” that’s what we are trying to do here at Trinity and also my desire is to help the Hispanic people to develop a relationship with our God and with this church.
