Triumph Church's Sugar Land/Stafford campus sits at the intersection of West Airport Blvd and Murphy Road, in the heart of Southwest Houston. A Pentecostal congregation that calls itself "a welcoming, diverse, and passionate community of believers," the Stafford address opened in 2019 when Pastors Randon and Lindsay Clark moved south after years of ministry at Triumph Beaumont and Triumph Nederland. It is the newest expression of a small family of Triumph churches that share one legal name, Triumph New Testament Church Inc., and one statement of faith.
Two Sunday Mornings, One Welcoming Door
Triumph Sugar Land/Stafford runs two identical services on Sunday, at 9:00 AM and 11:15 AM. Doors open well before the first service so that guests can grab coffee, donuts, and conversation in the on-site café, and the morning is designed to feel unhurried from the parking lot forward. A Dream Team of greeters meets visitors at the door, and the dress on a Sunday morning runs the full range from casual wear to Sunday best - "come just as you are" is the church's standing invitation.
Inside the sanctuary, contemporary worship led by vocalists, musicians, and a choir gives way to a sermon that the church describes as real, relevant, biblically sound, and meant to encourage faith in the everyday Christian walk. Recent teaching has walked through the Lord's Prayer phrase by phrase in a series called "Pray Like This" and worked through theological vocabulary in a series called "Big Bible Words," covering topics like adoption, sanctification, sovereignty, and monotheism. When the music ends, a prayer team is available at the back of the room for anyone who would like someone to pray with them. Parking is straightforward: the main lot sits directly in front of the building.
What Triumph Believes
The statement of faith is classically Pentecostal. There is one true God, eternal and Triune - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - and Jesus Christ is confessed in his full deity, his supernatural conception and virgin birth, his sinless life, his vicarious and atoning death, his bodily resurrection, his ascension to the Father's right hand, and his promised return "in power and glory to rule and reign forever."
The Bible, Old and New Testaments together, is held to be the infallible, Spirit-inspired Word of God, authoritative and without error. Salvation is by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and is grounded in the grace of God rather than the merit of the sinner. The church also teaches that the baptism in the Holy Spirit comes after conversion and empowers believers "to live a holy, sanctified life of power," and that the gifts of the Spirit continue in the church today - both the manifestation gifts described in 1 Corinthians 12 and the ascension gift ministries of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher.
Three practices grow out of that confession. Communion is observed regularly as a memorial of Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. Water baptism by immersion follows soon after a person accepts Christ as Savior, as a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to new life. And the church affirms divine healing, provided through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, as a real and inclusive part of Christ's saving work. Triumph also holds to the bodily resurrection of the saved and the lost - to everlasting life for the one, and to eternal separation from Christ for the other.
Triumph Kids, and the VIP Program Inside It
Children's ministry at Triumph is organized by age, with safe and secure check-in from the very first visit. The nursery welcomes infants through Pre-K in a calm, nurturing space, while the broader Triumph Kids program serves Kindergarteners through fifth graders with energetic teachers, creative methods of teaching God's Word, and age-appropriate worship and Bible lessons. The aim is to give every child a year after year of spiritual growth, from the nursery all the way through their final year of high school.
A Place for Children with Special Needs
Alongside the regular nursery and elementary tracks, the church runs a VIP program for children with disabilities. On-site behavioral therapists partner with each child so they can participate in everything the morning has to offer, and a sensory room is available for any child who needs a quieter place to play or decompress. Every Triumph Kids volunteer is background-checked, and the same safe-check-in system serves the special-needs track as well.
Youth That Gathers Every Sunday
Triumph Youth meets on Sunday mornings for worship, teaching, and connection, and the rest of the calendar fills in with special events built around dynamic guest speakers, free food, and a lot of high-energy fun. The intent is to give students their own community - a place they will want to keep coming back to - and to walk alongside them as they take ownership of their own faith.
Small Groups and Wednesday Nights
Discipleship beyond Sunday runs on two rhythms at Triumph. Small groups meet in two short seasons each year - Spring, running February through March, and Fall, running September through October. Groups are organized by life stage and shared interest, so a young adult, a married couple, a single parent, or an empty-nester can find a fit. Outside of those seasons, the Wednesday night Bible study gives the church a regular midweek touchpoint for studying the Word and growing in fellowship year-round.
Worship, Production, and the Creative Arts
The worship ministry at Triumph is built on the conviction that worship starts with the individual - reading and meditating on Scripture, serving the needy, sharing Christ's love with a coworker, or loving on the kids at home - and that the Sunday gathering is meant to give that worship a common voice. Auditioned vocalists, instrumentalists, and a choir lead the congregation; a production team runs cameras, livestream, lighting, and lyric slides; and a photo-and-video team captures the work of the church year-round for ministry and storytelling. A Frontlines team of café workers, greeters, hosts, ushers, and a prayer team keeps Sunday morning running smoothly, and the prayer team in particular meets before service and stays afterward to intercede for the pastors, the congregation, and anyone who would like prayer.
A Place for the Deaf Community
Every Sunday morning, sign-language interpreters translate the worship and sermon so that Deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees can fully take part in the service. The Deaf Community ministry is built around more than translation - the church trains, empowers, and mentors Deaf believers to share the good news of Christ with their own networks. Beginners learning sign language are welcome to join the effort, and the same sensory room and on-site behavioral therapists that serve children with disabilities in Triumph Kids extend a thoughtful welcome across the rest of the morning.
A Family of Triumph Churches
Triumph Sugar Land/Stafford is the Stafford address of a network that also includes Triumph Beaumont and Triumph Nederland. Pastors Randon and Lindsay Clark serve together as the lead pastors of the Sugar Land/Stafford campus, having moved to Sugar Land in 2019 with their two children, Kennedy and Randy. Pastor Randon is the primary preaching pastor on most Sundays, while Pastor Lindsay directs Triumph Kids and adds her own voice to the preaching schedule. Bishop Randy Clark, a frequent teaching voice in the recent sermon archive, is part of the broader Triumph leadership, and other preaching comes from pastors across the network, including Pastor Reneé Clark, Pastor Jeremy Tyner, Pastor Tolu Areola, Pastor Deamon Scapin, and Pastor Laura Armatys.
The mission of the Triumph family is "to build a thriving church of growing Christians who are discovering their divine destinies, sharing their faith with others, and making an impact on Southeast Texas and the world." A Next Steps membership class is offered for anyone who wants to learn the history of the church, its core values, and what it means to become part of what is happening here.
Giving, Online, and How to Connect
Worship is livestreamed every Sunday on YouTube and on the Triumph Church app for those at home or on the road, and a large archive of recent messages goes back through series like "Pray Like This," "Big Bible Words," "This Is The Way," "The King Is On His Way," "Find Your Community," and "Uncomfortable." Giving can be done online, by mail, in the offering receptacles at the back of the sanctuary, or through the church app, and is framed as an act of worship rather than a transaction - "an overflow of hearts transformed by the grace of God." The office is open Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and the church can be reached at (281) 416-4771 or officeadmin@triumphchurch.com.
