Trinity United Church is a diverse and growing Christian fellowship of people who support one another and their community through the commitment of its talents to joyfully worshiping and spreading God's Word, and through service to the community and the world.

 

Our Mission...

Through Worship...

We endeavor to celebrate God's love through worship, music, and fellowship in a variety of ways that welcome all people and nurture a sense of belonging. We seek to be open to a wide variety of styles of worship, while at the same time being faithful to the basic tenets of our faith. We are called by our faith to celebrate God's grace through the sacraments of Baptism and Communion, and the forgiveness and reconciliation of our sins in ways that reflect the Bible as revealing God's Holy and Living Word which gives meaning and direction to our ministry

 

Through Christian Development...

We are called to nurture people in Christian living through Bible and other studies, so that all people, regardless of age, are given the means to spiritually grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. We are committed to providing a diversity of styles and opportunities so that all may participate in Christian education and teaching all to live in faith and to profess our Christian faith in all aspects of our lives.

Through Pastoral Care...

We are called to reach out and engage all persons and situations we encounter, offering our comfort, encouragement, and support. We are committed to providing appropriate training programs for both the ministry and lay people so that they may deal effectively and resourcefully with the myriad of challenges and opportunities they may encounter. By caring for those who are a part of our church family, we offer hope, encouragement, and support to all who are our fellow disciples in Christ, and strengthen the cohesiveness of our bond together.

 

Through Outreach...

We are not alone; we live in God's world. We are committed to reaching out beyond the membership and fellowship of the church to all God's people in all places; in our community and country, and in the world, offering God's gracious love in response to humanity's needs, isolation, and search for meaning. We will support the agencies and programs working with the disadvantaged, and work towards the needs of all the generations in our community. Our commitment extends to working with other faiths in our community, for by working with others we may demonstrate our belief that every human being as a child of God is entitled to the respect and honour due them in the ministry of Christ.

 

Through Our Church...

We believe that each person in our Congregation has a unique God given talent that may be apparent or may be hidden. We will endeavour to create programs to utilize each person's unique gifts to allow their natural creativity and enthusiasm to blossom. Dynamic committees will be formed that will be able to change form and function according to the changing needs of the congregation and committee members. Only through a vital and dynamic organizational structure can our church rapidly respond to changing conditions in our community and congregation. The organizational structure of the church must be flexible and responsive, yet remain within the boundaries outlined by our constitution and the guidelines of the United Church of Canada.
