Dr. Tom and Mary Ann Peters responded to God's call to Lake Worth, Florida , in March 1973.  In the years since then, Trinity Church International has grown from a tiny congregation of eight people to a strong, thriving church of more than 4,000.  The "Vision of the House" was birthed out of Dr. Tom and Mary Ann's belief that we exist for the purpose of ministering to the Lord, to the Body of Christ, and to the world; for without a vision the people perish. 

Trinity Church International is an international house of prayer.  Dr. Peters believes very strongly that prayer is the key to knowing the Father's heart, and he demonstrates this daily to the body at Trinity as we follow the leading of the Shepherd.  The prayers of the saints go up from Trinity daily, with scheduled times for corporate and private prayer.  Dr. Peter's heart is that a 24-hour prayer chapel will soon be established, making intercession for all the requests that come from around the world.

Dr. Peters has a great anointing to teach, preach and exhort.  His messages are "life-changing" in scope and inspirational, challenging all to a closer walk with God and a broader vision to help bring the lost to Christ.  Dr. Peters has had the opportunity to share this vision by conducting numerous pastors’ seminars in other countries, as well as training leaders to teach and impart vision to others.  He has traveled in over 40 different nations, including ministry in the Caribbean, South Pacific, Africa, Europe, and India.

Dr. Peters and his lovely wife, Mary Ann, have two children, Jamie and Tina, and are the proud grandparents of five grandchildren.  Their son Jamie and his wife, Lea, and children have served as missionionaries to Africa for 20 years.  Tina and her husband, Frank Baker, reside in Lake Worth, Florida, along with their children Matthew and Lauren, where Tina is a bookkeeper for the Trinity Christian Academy and her husband is a Police Detective for the Palm Beach County Sheriff 's Department.  They are also very involved in Cell groups through TCI.

Dr. Peters believes very strongly in the family unit, which extends from the home to the local church.  He believes in being planted in a local fellowship and serving Christ in word and deed.

Dr. Peters’ ministry to the local fellowship he serves has resulted in hundreds turning to Christ each year, the sick being healed, families and marriages restored, financial breakthroughs, and restoration of those in need spiritually and physically.  He feels that we must fulfill the mandate that the Lord has given us to reach others for Christ.  In his own words, "Let us perceive the vision and rise up together and run to see the vision fulfilled for the Glory of God."
