Statement of Purpose:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” – Matthew 22:37-40 (NIV) These words of our Lord Jesus, by His own admission, formulate the “Greatest Commission” and serves to inspire us as our mission. We believe that Trinity exists to love God and to be a vessel of His love to others by means of faithful Christian ministry. This mission has given birth to our congregational vision. “Trinity is reaching out daily with a growing heart for heaven, home, and humanity near and far.” Our model for ministry is the practical application of this vision, expressing itself under six core values.
· Missional Momentum
· Personal Transformation
· Inspirational Worship
· Foundational Faith
· Relational Connection
· Global Compassion
