Many active groups, led by the Officers and
Vestry, who weave the threads of our spiritual lives into the fabric of the
Church, our community, and the world. There's truly something for everyone here!

Parish Life
Mission - To serve and support those in spiritual or
physical need, and to encourage Christian caring, community, and fellowship in
and around the parish family. Parish Life focuses on serving and enriching the
lives of Trinity Church parishioners.
Stewardship
Mission - Stewardship is serving God out of love and
gratitude for His gifts to us, knowing that it is not how much we have but how
we use those gifts that is important. The major annual effort is the Stewardship
drive in the fall to encourage parishioners to contribute their time, talents,
and treasures in the furthering of Christ's kingdom at Trinity Church.
Worship and Youth
Mission - To worship and glorify Christ; to provide activities for teen-age youth, focusing on Christian fellowship, information, service, and fun.
Worship- Two worship services, at 8 and 10:00 a.m., are conducted at Trinity Church each Sunday and a noontime service is held on Wednesdays year round. Special worship services are held on selected Holy Days and national holidays. Holy Eucharist is conducted in conjunction with Discipleship programs.
Youth - The Trinity Youth Groups, under the
direction of the Rector and the youth group leaders, meet on a bi-weekly basis.
The meetings run from 12 - 2 pm on Sunday, unless otherwise scheduled. The
Junior Youth Group meets on the first and third Sundays of the month, and the
Senior Youth Group meets on the second and fourth Sundays. The youth are heavily
involved in the planning and running of their meetings with several key events
planned for each school year. Traditionally, the youth group does not meet in
the summer months.
Evangelism
Mission - To present Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit in such ways as to lead others to Him as Savior so that they may follow Him as Lord within the fellowship of His Church. The Commission seeks to discern, recruit, identify, and incorporate new members into the life, ministry, and mission of Trinity Church and encourages all members to take an initiative in inviting others to join in our worship and witness.
