Call Committee for Lead Pastor at Mission Campus
One of the biggest takeaways from the listening sessions that took place in March was a desire to change the structure of leadership at Trinity, with the idea of the three pastors’ roles being reorganized. The Executive Committee President Patti Hare, has appointed a call committee to fill the role of Lead Pastor at the Mission campus. Please keep the call committee in your prayers as they begin their work in calling the next lead pastor at Mission. We look forward to this next step in ministry as we work together as a “Community Following Jesus.”

Wear Red for Reformation
On October 28-29, the weekend we are celebrating the festival of the Reformation, the clergy wear red vestments to signify the work of the Spirit.
