MinistriesThe LYO Ministry Team is caring adults who are committed
to providing guidance and support to the High School youth of Trinity so that
they may grow in faith through fellowship, service, peer support, leadership,
and faith building experiences. The Congregation Council consists of twelve congregational
members plus the pastors who have general oversight of the life and activities
of this congregation, and in particular its worship life, to the end that everything
be done in accordance with the Word of God and the faith and practice of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America.
The council does long-range planning, sets
goals and priorities, and evaluates activities in light of its mission and goals.
It seeks to involve all members of the congregation in worship, learning, witness,
service, and support. It is also charged to oversee and provide for the administration
of this congregation to enable it to fulfill its functions and perform its mission.
Blessed
Beginnings Preschool
Trinity
Lutheran Church's Blessed Beginnings Preschool offers children age-appropriate
opportunities to discover their own unique places in God's wonderful world. Within
our loving Christ and family-centered environment, children confidently develop
their spiritual, social, physical, creative, intellectual and
emotional selves...
the early foundation on which they can build lifetime success!
ALL ARE WELCOME!
Children do not have to be Lutheran to attend our preschool. We encourage faith,
ethnic and cultural diversity. It makes our program richer! Enrollments are accepted
as space allows. As
a community of women, created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus
Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith,
affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and
action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, society, and the world. Trinity's mission
statement, "To Praise God, Serve Christ, and Love One Another," applies
to all of Trinity's ministries. To accomplish this for Global Mission Ministry,
Trinity is involved in helping, proclaiming, caring and sharing in this country
and throughout all the world. Trinity lives its mission statement through the
development and implementation of global mission projects that benefit God's people
all over the world. The
Social Action Ministry (SAM) team seeks to educate, challenge, encourage and provide
opportunities for the congregation to demonstrate Christ's response to social
needs and injustices and thus move people toward Christ. The team is organized
into sub-teams involved with hunger, housing, prison ministry, education and communication,
social justice and community partnerships. This
ministry team supports the Health/Wellness ministry of the church by providing
activities that address health issues in a holistic manner. Member Care supports Trinity members who are in need due to health
problems or who are experiencing difficult and stressful times. These needs are
met with compassion, support, care, and love plus cards and telephone calls of
encouragement to members. Earth Keepers
We are people of faith called to be stewards of creation through education, advocacy,
and actions which protect, restore and celebrate the earth and its resources through
ministry in our homes, congregations, and world. The
Trinity Lutheran Church Endowment fund was established in 1986. It distributes
grants in four areas: The church, the community, scholarship, and missions of
the ELCA. Over the years, more than one million dollars have been provided to
these causes. |
