Assessment

Trinity Baptist Church is actually located in Richmond (Fendall Ave), NOT Glen Allen as listed. The longtime pastor Rev. A. Lincoln James Jr. passed away in December 2025 after 45+ years of leadership. The church's executive minister Rev. Wendy Bullock (female) is now serving as interim pastor. This is a historically Black Baptist congregation that peaked at ~2,000 members. The female interim pastor is a RED flag for the gender rubric. Not SBC-affiliated. Address correction needed.
