A Legacy of Faith and Service
Founded on the unwavering principles of the Gospel, God's Way Triune Ministries stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith, the pursuit of holiness, and the transformative impact of God's word. A member of the broader Protestant community, our church found its roots in the Pentecostal movement in Dayton, Ohio, a lineage that speaks to our vibrant and spirit-led worship.
The Genesis of Our Ministry
Elder Jim Holmes' Vision
The inception of God's Way Triune Ministries traces back to the spiritual journey of Elder Jim Holmes, a native of Ozark, Alabama. Raised in a family of faith, Elder Holmes was baptized and nurtured in the Christian faith at the Holy Temple Church of God In Christ in Dayton, Ohio. His ministerial calling was affirmed in 1990, marked by an anointing that led him to preach the gospel with zeal and conviction. Following his ordination in Cleveland, Ohio, Elder Holmes embarked on a journey of spiritual leadership, profoundly marked by his inaugural sermon on "Holiness."

Divine Calling
​The year 1999 brought a pivotal moment in Elder Holmes life with the passing of his wife, Donna Holmes, after 28 years of marriage, Donna passed away as a result of brain cancer. It was at this time Elder Holmes focus his energy into the ministry. God gave to him which was called: God’s way food ministry. A beacon of hope and substance for the community.

The Birth of a New Vision
Elder Holmes' life took a turn towards new beginnings when he married Linda D. Foreman in 2003. A significant shift occurred in 2004, as Elder Holmes felt a divine call to independence from the Church of God in Christ. This period of fasting and reflection culminated in the renaming of the ministry to "God's Way Triune Ministries" — a name signifying the Trinity and the holistic approach to ministry encompassing body, soul, and spirit.
The Dawning of a New Era
The Upper Room and Beyond
Our first service in the 'Upper Room' in Dayton, Ohio, marked the humble beginning of God's Way Triune Ministries with a mere eleven members. The spirit-filled inaugural service was a testament to God's mighty presence, leading to rapid growth and the eventual need for a larger space. In 2007, we were blessed to dedicate our current sanctuary on Old Troy Pike — a milestone in our ministry's history.
