A new kind of trap house, where people get free.
Truth. Restoration. Prayer. A second start for everyone.
Jesus Christ’s Truth, Restoration, and Prayer House (JC’s TRAP House) is a new Baptist church and Christian mission in Compton, California. We are a California nonprofit religious corporation (registration pending).
What TRAP means
TRAP = Truth. Restoration. Prayer.
A lot of us know the word “trap” from the street. We’re taking it back. Here, a TRAP house is a place of freedom, not a place where you get stuck.
Who it’s for
We’re building this for young adults, ages 18 to 30, in and around Compton. And everyone is welcome. If you want a fresh start, steady ground, or a church family, come as you are. The door is open.
How it started
It started with a call. Thomas’s son Dalquon said he wants to become a pastor. That lit a fire, and JC’s TRAP House began.
What we see
- Truth. God’s Word, preached plainly.
- Restoration. Walking with people toward a second start. Our goal is to offer faith, mentorship, and job and life-skills training that help people get back to work and back to family.
- Prayer. Open doors, open arms, and people who will pray with you.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.”Matthew 11:28 (WEB)
