God lives in the impossible
The story of a church that almost closed, and didn’t.
A hard charge
Believers have worshiped in Trafalgar for generations, and this congregation carries that heritage gratefully. But by September 2023, the future looked bleak. When Pastor Jack McMahon arrived, the charge was blunt: either see something happen, or close the doors.
Pastor Jack has said it felt like being sent into the Valley of Dry Bones from Ezekiel 37. A valley full of bones, and a question only God could answer: can these bones live?
“Then he said to me, ‘Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man... Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’” Ezekiel 37:9 (NLT)
God had other plans
God began to move. People came back, and new people came for the first time. Children filled classrooms again. Adults stepped into the baptistry. What many believed would never happen, happened, and it is still happening.
In June 2026 the congregation stepped into a new chapter as Trafalgar Community Church, an independent, non-denominational church. New name, same corner, same Lord.
What we believe
We believe the Bible is the Word of God, trustworthy in all it teaches. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for our sins and rose again, and that through faith in Him we are adopted as sons and daughters of God, secure in His love.
We believe the church exists to make disciples, to worship God, and to serve its neighbors with open hands. And we believe, because we have seen it here, that God lives in the impossible.

Pastor Jack & Sharon
Pastor Jack McMahon has led this congregation since September 2023, through its hardest season and into its most hopeful one. He teaches straight from Scripture, prays for people by name, and would rather fill the church with people God sends than count heads.
His wife Sharon serves at the heart of the church’s outreach, including the Monday lunches we serve to kids at the Community Center next door. Between them you will find the front door of this church: warm, steady, and wide open.
Our aim from here is the one Pastor Jack keeps setting before us: to be known throughout Trafalgar as followers of Christ.
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”
Isaiah 55:8 (NLT)
