In 1984, the city of Benbrook was growing at a rapid rate and forecasts were for continued growth. The staff of First Baptist Church made a down payment on 5 acres of land located on FM 2871, on top a hill overlooking the west Benbrook area.

In July 1996,           Dr. Larry Sanders from Billings, Montana, was selected to be the pastor of Trinity Hills Baptist.  Dr. Sanders began his ministry by taking a group to Pampa, Texas for FAITH training.  He began emphasizing discipleship to grow church members.  In subsequent years he led mission efforts and commitments to Juarez and Saltillo, Mexico as well as the Navajo Nation in New Mexico.  We have sent missionaries to China, Cambodia and Peru.
