Trinity Church (Brentwood)

Over the years, it aligned itself with and subsequently distanced itself from a number of Christian organisations, including the Assemblies of God and the International Communion of Charismatic Churches (ICCC).

Controversy has surrounded Reid for many years and both he and Peniel Pentecostal Church have been the subject of many critical media articles.

On 5 April 2008, Michael Reid tendered his resignation from the church board and stepped down from pastoral duties.
