Our Mission

The mission of the Trinity Church website is to:

(1) Glorify God;

(2) Encourage people from all walks of life to worship, fellowship, heal, serve, and grow with us in our faith relationship with Jesus Christ; and

(3) Serve as a resource for friends and members of Trinity Church to share ideas, concerns, and resources.

Ministries and Programs

The heart of Trinity is embedded in the hearts of its members. Their relationship with Christ is more important than any group, committee, or church assignment.

In order to facilitate the activities of Trinity, we have adopted an organization in line with the Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church. The organization includes volunteers from our membership and the church staff. The organization includes a Church Council and a series of standing committees with assigned roles and responsibilities. The committees are chaired by individuals selected from the membership and grouped into three main areas: Nurture, Outreach, and Witness.

Circle of Hope This is Trinity's newest circle. It meets the 3rd Sunday of each month at 5 PM in the Hope Missionary Sunday School classroom. This circle was born to give women an opportunity to come together in fellowship and to develop a community within the church for support, spiritual growth and outreach. The group is named for the goals they aim to accomplish--giving HOPE to women and children through service and gifts. Tracy Green 643-7032 jeremytracygreen@bellsouth.net
