From guest that have visited Trinity Music City:

“I enjoyed Trinity Music City USA, I found it to be extremely entertaining and educational. It is very spirit lifting…I enjoyed learning and seeing how a

broadcast taping was being taped. A great experience for the entire family or church group.” - Earlene (5-Star rating)

“It was a wonderful thing that you have a recording place for people like me to sing. We look forward to coming back again soon. I hope to have my husband

come down here also. The people that we were with were so kind and warm. Thanks.” - Client of TMC Recording Studio

We received a phone call from a lady named Rhonda, who attends a local church that has come to one of our Praise the Lord tapings, who asked for our staff

here at Trinity Music City, specifically, to pray for her mother who was having a bad day with her chemo treatment. An email was sent out to all of our staff

immediately after the call, and we were all able to pray for Rhonda and her mother. What a privilege and blessing it is to pray for others!
