Dr. John A. 'Jac' Coad became pastor of Trinity Church in 2004, after 25 years of pastoral experience in Memphis, TN and Concord, NC. Dr. Coad said, "It is such a blessing to be associated with Trinity Presbyterian Church which has such a strong Bible-based ministry. I am excited about the prospects for the future as Trinity continues to reach out and invite our neighbors to Jesus Christ and into His Church."

Pastor Coad's wife, Debbie, is a teacher at Libertas Academy in Tampa. They have four children and one grandchild. The Coad's started a Crisis Pregnancy Center in Concord, NC.
