Who We Are
There are a number of words that describe Trinity Church. Here are a few of them…
Christian
First and foremost, we’re a Christian church. Our church slogan is “Christ leading our church family in God’s love.” And we believe that Trinity is a place where people can experience God’s love – and God’s presence – in meaningful and life-changing ways, especially as it’s expressed in the person, work, and leading of Jesus Christ. We also believe that the Bible is God’s word for us and that the Holy Spirit continues to speak through it.
Caring
We are a caring, multi-generational community. There aren’t that many multi-generational experiences in America today. We tend to hang out with people our own age. At Trinity people from different generations care about each other and have fun together too!
Worshiping
Worship is the center of our church life at Trinity, and we’re passionate about what we do. Our praise team leads us in singing contemporary music, our choir sings anthems, and our talented keyboardist leads us in traditional music too. As Jesus told the woman at the well, “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24). See Music and Worship for details.
Serving
We take Christ’s leadership and call to service seriously. We’re always looking for new ways to share God’s love with others through service. In Matthew 10:8, Jesus tells his disciples, “You received without payment; give without payment.” See Mission and Service for details.
Learning
At Trinity, there’s always more to learn to “renew our minds” (Romans 12:2). We have Bible study and small group opportunities to learn about the Bible, the Christian walk, and the world around us. We also believe in teaching our children and youth (middle school and high school age). The Presbyterian Church is one expression of the Christian Church.
Passionate
At Trinity, we’re not satisfied with going through the motions. We won’t settle for less than living out our Christian faith and transforming the world we live in. Each of us lives out our purpose in a different way.
Fun-Loving
At Trinity, we like to have a good time. Worship is fun, our events are fun, and our congregation is filled with fun, caring people with a good sense of humor (even people you wouldn’t expect it from by looking at them). We take what we believe and what we do seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Historical
Trinity has 70 years of history in our community, but we never get stale and complacent. You can read our history to see how we became who we are today!
