A PEOPLE WITH A MISSION
Trinity United Methodist Church is a dynamic community of people who, through their trust in God’s faithfulness, strive to provide an inclusive, joyful, loving, and caring environment. In this community, people can find spiritual nurture and growth, mutual support of individual needs, and a sense of family. Reaching out through vital and creative worship, people-centered programs, and social and environmental stewardship, this congregation serves the local and global communities.
A PEOPLE COMMITTED TO INCLUSIVENESS
Trinity is a congregation that welcomes and affirms all people inclusive of Race, Nationality, Age, Gender, Gender Identity, Marital Status, Sexual Orientation, Physical Ability, Mental Ability, Economic Class, or Educational Class. Trinity has been a Reconciling Congregation since 1992.
A CREATION-CENTERED COMMUNITY
Trinity supports Creation Spirituality, a movement that draws on ancient spiritual traditions and contemporary science to awaken authentic mysticism, revitalize Christianity and Western culture, and promote social and ecological justice. Creation Spirituality teaches that God permeates all things and that humanity is created blessed, not tainted by original sin. In this paradigm, Christ is God's liberating and reconciling energy, transforming individuals and society's structures into conduits of compassion. As we embody God's love, we become the Creation that God intends. Creation Spirituality draws on the earliest traditions of the Hebrew Bible and has been celebrated under various names over the centuries, most notably by the Rhineland Christian mystics of medieval Europe. It is an eclectic tradition that honors women's wisdom and the cosmologies of indigenous cultures around the planet. Creation Spirituality seeks to revitalize contemporary worship by asking what would happen if, instead of requiring artists to conform to established worship practices, Christian worship adapted to the creativity of artists.
Trinity offers three dynamic worship celebrations in our sanctuary each week. The 9:15am
imprints Celebration is an alternative, contemplative service that includes Taize chants, body prayers, and guest artists. The 11:15am
weave Celebration blends alternative and traditional elements and features our Celebration Choir. The 12:45pm
earthbound Celebration is a playful mix of Nature-based and Christian elements.
Trinity also offers a variety of fellowship groups. In addition to United Methodist Women (UMW) and Trinity Triangle Fellowship (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, & Straight Allies Fellowship), we offer COTS (Care of the Soul) groups, Adult Sunday School, TrinityNet (a neighborhood-based, grassroots communications network), and a Women’s Spirituality group, with short-term classes offered at various times of the year. If you would like more information about any of these groups, please contact the church office.
