Campus Prayer Walk

Encouraging messages, in-depth spiritual discussions, and a prayer walk are just a few ways the spiritual temperature on campus can be measured this year. On September 3, more than 20 students gathered for the first-ever prayer walk, an event organized by sophomore Bradley Sutton.


For the prayer walk, students met at the Activity Center at 9:00 p.m. and for 90 minutes walked around campus to various locations where they stopped and prayed about whatever was on their hearts. They prayed for specific needs, individuals, and for growth and revival both personally and corporately.


TBC Junior Dee Wimes describes the time as very encouraging. “The ninety minutes flew by and felt like it was only ten minutes. We walked and prayed wherever the Lord led us, and I was excited to have this opportunity.” Dee, who is a commuter student, plans to attend prayer walks in the future.


“The turnout was great,” Sutton said, “and you could really feel the spirit amongst us.” He hopes to have more prayer walks in the future and is thankful for what God has allowed him to do.


Vinnie Cappetta ’95
- Pastor of Family Life at Crossroads Community Church Framingham, MA

My wife, Heather Pittman (93) Cappetta, and I moved to the Metro West suburbs in 1999 to help plant a Baptist church in one of the largest towns in the country, Framingham, MA. Despite a large population, the area had only a few gospel-preaching churches. For seven years, I received a well-rounded education in just about every church ministry as I worked alongside a seasoned pastor. Eventually, the church membership decreased as people moved out of the area to pursue jobs in other parts of the country. At this time, the other pastor decided to move to Ohio, and as hard as it was, we knew that God was bringing this ministry to a close. God re-birthed the original vision by leading us to merge with another local church, Crossroads Community Church. I became the Pastor of Family Life with responsibilities including pastoral counseling, small groups, and welcoming newcomers. I also oversee our outreach and recovery ministries.

Trinity Baptist Church Hosts School Spirit Sunday

On September 23, 2012 Trinity Baptist Church hosted School Spirit Sunday. Leadership from 16 nearby schools were in attendance. The neighborhood schools provided Trinity with a list of volunteer needs and TBC students, as well as church members, will be meeting some of those needs. Trinity Baptist College students currently assist in Fun Club at Crystal Springs Elementary for outreach and Christian service. They will now be able to expand their influence. Trinity Baptist Church also reached out to local high school seniors in need of community service hours. The seniors were invited to volunteer at the Trinity Rescue Mission and Eureka Gardens (an apartment complex where children’s programs are held).
