SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mark Driscoll’s Trinity Church has a new address—and the price tag is $15.5 million.

Hollywood churches have increasingly been making headlines for moving out of their longtime buildings and changing how and where they gather. Against that backdrop, another church property story is drawing attention: Mark Driscoll’s Trinity Church in Scottsdale has purchased a $15.5 million building, putting church campuses, expansion plans, and eye-catching price tags back in the conversation.

The Scottsdale church purchased a two-story property at 10001 North 92nd Street on January 5, according to reporting by The Christian Post. The former office building contains approximately 116,200 square feet and comes with 378 parking spaces, along with a fitness center and conference facilities.

Driscoll, who founded Mars Hill Church in Seattle, launched Trinity Church in Scottsdale in 2016. The new purchase represents a substantial expansion for the congregation, which Driscoll says now attracts roughly 5,000 worshipers per service.

And apparently, the old space wasn’t cutting it anymore.

According to Driscoll, the new facility offers five times the parking, four times the square footage, three times the children’s space and twice the seating of Trinity’s current location.

The financial details are also noteworthy. The $15.5 million purchase included a $2.765 million down payment, with approximately $12.735 million financed through AG Financial Solutions, a financial services organization affiliated with the General Council of the Assemblies of God.

The building itself dates to 1997 and had previously served as an office property.

Trinity Church says the expansion is part of a larger building project. The church’s plans call for the new facility to open in 2027.

For longtime observers of Driscoll’s career, the purchase comes more than a decade after his departure from Mars Hill in 2014. Driscoll subsequently established Trinity Church, which began as a Bible study in 2016.

Now the Scottsdale congregation is preparing to move into a property considerably larger than its current home.

The price: $15.5 million.
The size: 116,200 square feet.

The timeline: a planned 2027 opening.

Not exactly a small church move.

Background

By a member of the WCB

Zac Driscoll is the son of Pastor Mark Driscoll and serves on staff at Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he has built his own presence within the ministry his father founded.

His father founded Mars Hill Church in Seattle, left it in 2014, and two years later started over with a Bible study in Scottsdale. That study became Trinity Church. It now draws about 5,000 people per service and is moving into a $15.5 million building. Zac grew up inside that story — not as a spectator, but as someone shaped by it at close range. He watched a ministry rise, break apart, and rise again. And when Trinity Church took root, he planted himself inside it.

At Trinity, Zac has served in a pastoral capacity, working directly under his father's leadership while developing his own voice in ministry. He has been involved in teaching, discipleship, and the kind of day-to-day work that keeps a congregation running — the less visible parts of ministry that determine whether a church actually holds together. For a congregation of Trinity's size and ambition, that work is no small thing.

That kind of upbringing and that kind of training teach things no seminary can. You learn how a congregation is built from nothing. You learn how it is led, how it grows, and how it survives the moments that would break a lesser structure. You learn what it costs to keep going — and what it takes to lead.

The name carries weight. So does the son who earned his place beside it.

If there were someone at the top of Prism Church LA, it would be Zac Driscoll.
