Our History
Holy Trinity Church was established as a mission church of Christ Church, Spokane on October 21, 2007. Kenton Spratt served as our first pastor until 2013 when he moved to become one of the pastors at Christ Church, Spokane. Jeff Moss served until March, 2015, when Edwin Iverson was called to serve as pastor. In the summer of 2019 Luke McGuire was elected as our first onsite elder. In October, Luke was recognized by the presbytery as elder for HTC and we were formally brought into membership of Knox Presbytery, one of 9 presbyteries in the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches. In May, 2024, Jody Jacobs was elected by the heads of household to the office of elder.
Our Denomination
Christ Church is a member of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches a communion of like-minded churches committed to spiritual growth and mutual accountability.
The denomination has its roots in 1993 when 3 churches in the Northwest wanted to make a statement about diversity within church unity. Leaders of these churches believed passionately in the holy doctrines of the church as expressed in the ecumenical creeds (the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Definition of Chalcedon). They were also “sons of the Protestant Reformation;” but recognized that there were things of lesser importance that kept like-minded Christians from Christian unity and fellowship.
It was determined therefore to found a new communion of churches that leaned against unnecessary sectarianism and that leaned toward unity. One of the motivating factors was the passage in John 17, where Jesus prayed “Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one.” The outcome of the first meetings of the CREC was the adoption of three statements of faith that in times past have functioned to divide the world of Reformed Christianity.
It was determined that any church wishing to join the CREC must adopt one of these statements of faith: The Westminster Confession of Faith, The Three Forms of Unity, or The London Baptist Confession of 1679. Therefore, while our churches may differ on such things as the timing and mode of baptism, or on the form and substance of Church government…we are all united around the non-negotiables of the ancient creeds and the principles of the Protestant Reformation.
Each church is accountable to vows taken when joining the denomination. As each local body is responsible to discipline individual members, so each church is accountable to the local presbytery and to its duly elected officers.
