Zeal Team in Christ
Chris Lincoln
Member of the Zeal team
Chris Lincoln has been a member of Trinity Church for the last 40 years after a life changing encounter with Jesus in a friends living room in Harlow.
Chris introduced the first sound system to the Ongar Christian Fellowship in the late 70s and has continued to evolve and run PA in Trinity and outreach events for the Trinity choirs and bands ever since. He regularly goes with the Trinity band or choir into Chelmsford prison to minister to the inmates and guards. He can be found at On the Move events, the Brentwood March of Witness and choir outreach concerts in the Brentwood Ruins.
He is frequently asked to support events with sound systems for other churches and missions in the area and abroad. He has also been part of the team that organised and ran the Way Festivals in the Trinity grounds which saw many miracles and souls saved. Witnessing many such miracles and answers to prayer over the years he has grown in faith to see miracles and answers to his own prayers.
He is a member of the Zeal prayer group with a boldness in prayer for the sick and needy being sometimes called upon to lead in Peter’s absence. He is a student of the bible with a comprehensive knowledge of the scriptures and the whole counsel of God.

Statement of Faith
We Believe…
– The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
– The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
– The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
– The dignity of all people, made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
– The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
– The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
– The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
– The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
– The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the Gospel, promoting justice and love.
– The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfill the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
