Rev 12:11-12 "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death. Our "testimony" has to do with what God has done, what He is doing and who He is to us.  TLC was birthed by a move of God's Holy Spirit and can only be sustained by that vital connection.  In 1976 a group of believers began to meet under the name of "Trinity Temple".  The church first met at a building in City Park.  During those formative years the church body moved from place to place including such buildings as the old Christian Science building on 12th & Main, The DAV hall on South Main st.  At the Seventh Day Adventist Building the church really began to take form and grow.  Under the leadership of Pastor Ezra Coppin the leaders began to look for a permanent home, while riding the wave a wonderful charismatic move of the Holy Spirit.  It was while we were meeting at this location we found and acquired the land that the church is now located on at the end of E 4th st.  Our next move was to move into a storefront building located on the corner of E 11th st. and Salem Ave. formerly Conley's Grocery.  It was there that we started Ascension Bible College, Trinity Christian Academy (K - 12 Christian school) and began construction on the new "Mellinial Dome" on our property on E 4th st.  It was also at the Conley building that in 1982 the Ascension Fellowships International  was established, with a vision to coordinate a New Testament form of church government among the churches that we were in fellowship with.  It was also at that time that the church name was changed to Trinity Life Center. On May 12th 1984 the new church building was dedicated to the glory of God.  TLC has been a lighthouse to the city of Pueblo and has sent out Missionaries, Pastors and leaders to many different parts of the US and the world.  We have had the privelage of providing spiritual guidance and input to countless thousands of people over the years.  Our senior pastors have been as follows 1976 - 79 Ps Bill Oakley, 1979 - 1982 Ps Ezra Coppin,  1982 - 1987 Ps John Muhleisen, 1987 - 1996 Ps John Winkler, 1996 ---  Ps Rich Conley. 2 Cor 10:17 "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."  Over the many years, countless people have been saved, delivered and healed under this ministry.  We have experienced the miracle of God's provision time and time again, with a relatively small congregation at times we have been able to do amazing things that can only be explaind by saying "Thus far has the Lord helped us".
