Welcome!

Thanks for visiting the online home of the Church of the Risen Christ in Trenton, Tennessee. We are glad that you visited our website, and we would love for you to come by and worship with us.

At CRC, you will find a caring church family, with a warm and loving atmosphere. Our goal is to worship our Savior and bring glory to Him in all that we do. We seek to love and encourage one another in our faith and to answer the questions of those who are looking for hope. Our church family is dedicated to learning and living out the teachings of Jesus Christ in every part of our lives.

Our prayer is that if you don’t know Christ as your Savior, you would receive His free gift of salvation which He purchased for you by willingly dying for your sins and rising from the grave on the third day.

We hope to see you and your family soon!
-Your friends at the Church of the Risen Christ

A word from our Priest…

Pastoral Greetings in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

 We extend a welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, filthy rich or dirt poor. We extend a special welcome to those who are carrying newborns, skinny as a rail or could afford to lose a few pounds.

We welcome those who can sing like Andrea Bocelli or like myself, can’t carry a note in a bucket. We welcome those who are “just browsing”, just woke up or just got out of jail. We welcome those who have perfect attendance pins since they were a child and those who haven’t been in church since little Joey’s baptism. We welcome those that are certain where they belong and those still searching. 

We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organized religion”, we’ve been there too.

We offer a special welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church.

We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts…and you! A hearty Christian welcome is extended to you!
