When you worship with us at Trinity you will be met by a greeter as you enter for the 10:30 AM worship. On your first visit you will be invited to fill out a guest card. You will also be greeted by an usher who will give you a service bulletin to guide you through the service. You will not be singled out or embarrassed in any way. You will worship God with us. Any member of the parish should be happy to help in any way you need.

How Can I Be Involved? Our congregation elects its lay leadership, the Vestry, to three year terms. The Vestry members meet with the Minister and Deacon once a month throughout the year, and serve as liaisons to or chairs of their committees of church members. These committees are made up of parishioners who give their time and energy to put our faith into action. We urge you to become involved in the work of this parish by joining one or more of these committees. Your help is welcomed and will be greatly appreciated. Call or email the church office ot let us know of your questions or interest. We want to hear from you!
