Trinity Life Church, Tucson AZ

My husband, Chuck, and I attended this God infused church for many years. We had to move to our daughter's in Indiana due to health issues. My husband passed away 2 years ago. It brings tears to my eyes remembering my church and friends.

Joe S.and I talk often on the phone. We talked about Pastor's 10/8/23 morning service regarding end times. How can I download his morning services?

My Love to Pastor and Sheila,
Nancy Fatum

I felt like I’d been missing ‘something’ & today have been God directed to Trinity Life Church at 2202 S Wilmot Rd, Tucson AZ. Thank you Jesus

I have been going to this church for two years now with my husband, and I am so grateful to have found a church home, where the pastor truly cares about people. I came in with some wounds from previous situations that needed healing. The people here at Trinity Life truly care and love the Lord. There is a rich culture with different backgrounds, all coming to serve for the same purpose, JESUS! Thank you Pastor Kraft and Shiela for staying true to the word of God and faithfully ministering to the body of Christ, and even more is, teaching our children in love and truth! So grateful

Wonderful place to worship and feel the move of God in the service. If you are looking for a spirit filled church TRINITY LIFE CHURCH is your church.

My goal in writing this review is to bring to light some concerns I have witnessed and experienced over the 3+ years of attending EastSide now known as TLC. I first want to say that Pastor Peter Kraft has Biblical sound sermons that support the word of God.
The church has many wonderful Godly people that attend Trinity Life Church (TLC) and my vision is to see the church flourish with talent and outreaches that help change lives through the gospel.

1. TLC has a lack of Pastoral staff. Pastor Kraft is the only member on staff as a Pastor and refuses to seek an associate pastor, College pastor, small groups pastor, music pastor, or any additional laymen help. He uses COVID and ministers leaving the ministry as a reason. His wife Sheila Kraft runs the youth/women's ministry alone. Whenever there is a guest preacher, they come from out of town and are easily sent home after the event. No arts program, nor lay ministry exists at the church. Associate pastors and music directors have consistently been utilized for a short time before they leave abruptly with no farewell. Pastor preaches about doing your part in the body of Christ and "staying in your lane" but that is crushed from the top at TLC. Members have talents, knowledge, abilities along with resources to render but are prohibited from using them. Myself and multiple other individuals have approached pastor about serving in different areas of the church and the answer is always no.

2. After learning about our spiritual gifts in Sunday School, I scored high on Helps and Hospitality. I went to pastor asking if I could help support other members by making meals for those who are sick, or have have a death in the family and I was told "no. " I asked why and the answer took me by surprise. I was told that it's the women's ministry and only women should cook. Men don't belong in the kitchen and then he said. "So, you're one of them". A bit puzzled, I said "one of them who? " His response was "You're one of those sissy boys" (aka. Fa***t). My heart broke. I spent the prior 2 years mostly at home alone going through a double hip replacement, (I'm 42 btw) a gallbladder removal and found out my pancreas no long functions appropriately where I am not able to absorb nutrients. Pastor Kraft never came to visit, sent maybe 2 texts and 2 calls in the 2+ years. My wife and son would go to church and serve without me most Sundays. I was often looked down upon for not attending Church. Although, I did watch services live streamed when I wasn't in service. I found myself alone, without friends, support or love from my church family. This is why I approached pastor Kraft and asked if I could help because I didn't want anyone to have the same experience as I. I sought to meet with pastor Peter and Sheila with my wife to discuss what was said but he only gave 1 time during the day when my wife was working to meet and said his schedule was too busy to meet.

3. Pastor Kraft has said multiple times, "If you want to socialize, you can go to the country club. We come here to learn the word of God". Pastor's lack of care for community is evident. I asked pastor Kraft if there would ever be any small groups where we could meet at homes. The answer was "No". Pastor Kraft said we come to church to learn the word of God. Not small groups. He preaches Sunday morning, Sunday evening & Wednesday night. Pastor also has prayer for the men on Saturday afternoons at 6pm. For many, this is the only day they have with their family, but he strongly encourages men to come and pray.
My concern is that Pastor will continue to ignore the needs of the church and God's people. In the 3+ years, there hasn't been an outreach for the needy or a mission trip with the youth (urban or abroad). However, the church does support many missionaries and similar ministries.
I love the church and it's members. I forgive pastor for his comments but I cannot continue to allow a church become stagnant due to pastoral control.

Awesome place of worship and pastoral are awesome. I enjoy everything about this church. They are helpful.

Trinity Life Church is an amazing place to worship and connect with a community of believers. Pastor Kraft and Shelia are inspiring and scriptural based leaders, and the church provides a beautiful and peaceful space for worship. The congregation is warm and welcoming, and the sense of community at Trinity Life Church is truly special. Overall, I highly recommend this church to anyone looking for a place to grow in their faith and in the Lord.

Tucson is blessed to have Pastor Kraft! His sermons have literally saved my marriage and lifted my families spirits countless times. I have a better relationship with our Savior and Heavenly Father because of Pastor Krafts teachings. We have attended TLC for 6 years but mainly watch online now!

This is a great place to grow in the Lord. Pastor Kraft is a strong believer and preaches the Truth straight from the Word. The youth group is equally amazing. They are supportive and communicate the Lord’s teachings to the students clearly in a way that they understand.

I've been attending since 2017 and I have grown spiritually under Pastor Kraft's preaching & teaching which is Bible based.
Lots of different classes available for nursery/young/teens/young adults and those seasoned with a little salt & pepper.there are legacy life (55+) classes/marriage/financial and more. I pray God touches your heart to at least stop in for a service.
Thank you TLC!

Excellent Church! The pastors are so welcoming and inviting. Great biblical preaching and strong kids ministry!
I am really enjoying the marriage life classes for adults on Sunday morning!
