Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church

About Us

Organizational History 

     Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church, serving Broward County, was formed as a mission work in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church at its Presbytery of the South's meeting in April, 2007. Rev. David Smiley and Elder Al Hanna (of Providence OPC in Bradenton) and Rev. Bill Hobbes (of Calvary OPC in Tallahassee) were appointed as overseeing session.

     On May 20, 2007 thirty-five people gathered to worship the Lord at the inaugural public worship service. Associate General Secretary of the Committee on Home Missions Rev. Richard Gerber presided. On August 12, 2007, twenty-five people were received as our first members. Rev. Smiley, moderator of our overseeing session, presided.

     On Friday, May 8, 2009, our congregation, until then a mission church, became a particular church of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.   At the same time, Reverend Dr. Robert L. Reymond was received into the OPC Presbytery of the South by transfer of his credentials from the Presbytery of South Florida of the Presbyterian Church in America. Our first elders and deacons were also ordained and installed.

Office of Ruling Elders

Christ who has instituted government in his church has furnished some men besides the minister of the Word, with gifts for government, and with commission to execute the same when called thereto.  Such officers, chosen by the people from among their number, are to join with the ministers in the government of the church, and are properly called ruling elders.

Those who fill this office should be sound in the faith and of exemplary Christian life, men of wisdom and discretion, worthy of the esteem of the congregation as spiritual fathers.

Ruling elders, individually and jointly with the pastor in the session, are to lead the church in the service of Christ.  They are to watch diligently over the people committed to their charge to prevent corruption of doctrine or morals.

Evils which they cannot correct by private admonition they should bring to the notice of the session.  They should visit the people, especially the sick, instruct the ignorant, comfort the mourning, and nourish and guard the children of the covenant.  They should pray with and for the people. They should have particular concern for the doctrine and conduct of the minister of the Word and help him in his labors.              ---The Book of Church Order of the OPC, 13

Office of Deacons

The Scriptures designate the office of deacon as distinct and perpetual in the church.  Deacons are called to show forth the compassion of Christ in a manifold ministry of mercy toward the saints and strangers on behalf of the church.  To this end they exercise, in the fellowship of the church, a recognized stewardship of care and of gifts for those in need or distress.  This service is distinct from that   of rule in the church.

Those chosen to this office should be of great faith, exemplary lives, honest repute, brotherly love, warm sympathies, and sound judgment.

The board of deacons shall oversee the ministry of mercy in the church and shall collect and disburse funds for the relief of the needy.  Other forms of service for the church may also be committed to the deacons. 

In the discharge of their duties the deacons shall be under the supervision and authority of the session.
