what to expect
We meet for Sunday services every week at 9:00am. We want you to find rest in the finished work of Jesus at worship. Rather than be exhausted by more things to "do for God," we hope you experience how much God the Father loves you and radically pursues you.
Where should I park?
We have plenty of spaces in our parking lot, including 8 handicap stalls. However, you are also welcome to park next door at Barnes Elementary if for some reason the Trinity lot is full. You are welcome to drop your family off under the portecochere before you park.
What should I wear?
Come as you are. You don’t need to clean yourself up - let Jesus do that. We can be relaxed in attire, but many people do like to dress up to worship in Trinity Hall. You'll see a spectrum from t-shirts and jeans, to scrubs, to business casual.
How will I know where to go?
Greeters will welcome you at the entrance. If you have special needs, please let the greeters know; our facility is handicapped accessible and handicap spaces are provided in front of Trinity Hall.
What is the worship service like?
The best way to answer this question is to come see it for yourself. We think of ourselves as "liturgical but edgy," drawing from church history with modern verse-by-verse preaching of Scripture with application to live out the gospel in today's ever-changing world, and sharing weekly communion together. Trinity's worship service is intended to connect Christians and non-Christians to God by engaging their imaginations to see the holiness of God and the beauty of God's love for sinners. Our pastors design the order of events to allow us to participate together: singing, reading aloud at certain times, and moments of noise and silence. We want to experience a sense of transcendence (God is grand, beautiful, and worthy of our utmost respect, for He is holy) and immanence (God is close, personal, intimate, and draws near to His people, for He is love).
What is your music style like?
We sing a mixture of hymns and modern songs. We want our songs to be theologically rich, yet singable. We are big on the congregation singing and measure the success of a song by how loud the congregation sings. Several highly talented musicians lead us with piano, guitar, a parish drum set, violin, and occasionally a clarinet, mandolin or trumpet. Our songs generally have an acoustic classical Americana feel.
What about kids?
During our worship service we provide nursery care for infants to age 3. During the Passing of the Peace we invite children ages 4-5 to Trinity Kids where they will hear an age appropriate lesson from God's Word before returning for Communion. We often have a Children's Sermon before we begin the main sermon, where the kids are invited to sit up front with the pastor as he presents a simplified sermon designed to prepare them to better understand the main sermon that follows. They are then dismissed to return to their families after the Children's Sermon is over.
Am I required to do anything?
Whether you have followed Jesus for a long time or you are new to the faith we encourage everyone to participate at whatever level you feel comfortable.
What happens after the service?
