Our Mission

The Mission of Trinity United Methodist Church is to nurture one another and our neighbor in the love of God, serve our community, and encourage persons to become Christian disciples and good stewards of God’s creation.

Trinity UMC is a Reconciling Congregation. Welcome to this place of worship and gathering of Christian seekers. May your worship experience be a source of spiritual renewal as you seek to faithfully live out God’s call upon your life. Our congregation strives for open minds, open hearts and open doors, toward all people without regard to race, age, gender identity, sexual orientation or physical abilities.

Please silence all cell phones.

Hospitality this month: Many volunteers host social hour this month.

Emily Rodenhi provides the flowers on the altar today.
