Core Commitments
We exist to be a joyful community of disciples who together: experience the love of God and life in the Holy Spirit, invite people into friendship with Jesus, embody practices and postures that lead to the restoration of our whole person, make space for meaningful and reconciled relationships, and participate in God’s kingdom work by using our gifts locally and throughout the world.
We are a joyful community of disciples.
A great way to learn more about Trinity is to attend an upcoming Newcomers Meeting. At the meeting you’ll hear a short talk on our purpose, mission, and values. You will also have the opportunity to meet church staff and connect with others who are new to Trinity.
Newcomers Meetings happen on the first Sunday of each month. Visit our Events page for more information.
We gather
every Sunday
at 9am &
11am.
Sundays are the primary way we gather as a church to worship together, learn from Scripture, pray for one another, and create space to hear from the Holy Spirit. Whether you are exploring faith or looking for a church home, we look forward to seeing you soon!

Beliefs
Our beliefs are best expressed by the Church's foundational creeds: the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.
The term “creed” comes from the Latin credo, meaning “I believe.” They are statements of our fundamental beliefs about God. In reciting and affirming these creeds, we join Christians worldwide and throughout the ages in affirming our faith in the one God who creates, redeems, and sanctifies us.
Three Streams Approach
We take a “three streams” approach to faith and worship. It is our conviction that this approach encourages humility, maturity, and a healthy appreciation for diversity.
Evangelical
When we say that we are “evangelical,” we mean that we take seriously God’s command to speak about and live like Jesus. We preach and teach from the Bible because we believe it is the inspired word of God, and our desire is for all people to enter into a saving relationship with Jesus.
Charismatic
When we say that we are “charismatic,” we mean that we believe God is present and active among his people. We anticipate the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church for the conviction of sin, the illumination of truth, and the restoration of all things.
Liturgical
When we say that we are “liturgical,” we mean that we value the longevity of historic tradition, the rhythms of the church calendar, the consistency of a lectionary-based teaching plan, and our connection to the global Church.
Leadership
Under the care of our bishops, Trinity is a pastor-led, staff-implemented, vestry-supported church.
-
An Anglican bishop is a member of the clergy who has been commissioned to oversee the work of a group of churches and the pastors (priests and deacons) who serve them. That group of churches is called a “diocese.” In a certain sense, a bishop is a pastor to pastors. Bishops share a special responsibility to maintain and further the unity of the Church, to uphold its discipline, and to guard its faith.
Jeff Bailey is our bishop. Todd Hunter is the founder of our diocese, Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO).
-
Trinity's staff is made up of people who are committed to the pastoral, operational, and overall care of our church.
Our staff has two key decision-making groups; the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and the Ministry Leadership Team (MLT). The SLT includes the Lead Pastor and direct reports. The SLT is responsible for the overall vision and values of Trinity. The MLT comprises the SLT members and the leaders overseeing each of Trinity's ministry areas. The MLT is responsible for strategy and operations.
-
The purpose of the vestry is to support the church's mission and culture, support the senior pastor, model sacrificial leadership, and uphold the church's financial integrity.
Vestry members serve staggered three-year terms. The Senior Warden is an officer of the vestry who helps lead the vestry together with the Lead Pastor. The Junior Warden is an officer who assists the Senior Warden and Lead Pastor and is designated to serve as the next Senior Warden. The Chancellor is an officer of the vestry whose role is to provide general legal counsel to the vestry as these issues come up in the life of the church.
