Our Story

How it all started...

In Sept. 2021, Brent, Jia & Ed , three Christian brothers who met in the USA, went to Arizona and did a weekend trek together to seek God about our future direction.

They envisioned a future where boys become real men and men become leaders at home, in the church and the world. They gave this new endeavor a name, “山前团契” Trailhead Fellowship.

Trailhead Fellowship is truly a fellowship of people committed to building leaders in ethnic churches in North America. It is not an organization; it is a fellowship — a movement of Chinese men and women who want to be changed by God and used by God.
 
We are part of the leader development ministry of LeaderSource whose mission is to equip churches to build healthy leaders around the world is a faith-mission that is supported financially by gifts from individuals, churches and Christian foundations.

Our Beliefs

Our beliefs align with the World Evangelical Alliance and the Lausanne Covenant statements of faith and mission.

The Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.

One God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and his personal return in power and glory.

The Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ.

The Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
