Mission
At Trinity Church, we are working together by
filling the needs of Christ's own people. Reaching out to others
supported by our congregation we are Christ's hands, feet, and
mouth. We give thanks to our Creator for giving us the vision
and the strength to follow Him.
Goals
We intend to live out our baptismal covenant
by continuing in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the
breaking of bread, and in prayer. We intend to proclaim by word
and example the Good News of God in Christ. We will seek and
serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves.
And we will strive for justice and peace among all people, and
respect the dignity of every human being. We seek to achieve
all these things as a congregation engaged in Total Ministry
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Total Team Ministry
Total Ministry has been defined as the ministry
of all the baptized. In a Total Ministry Church, members of
the congregation serve as a team in the ministerial leadership
roles that were traditionally filled by seminary priests. Ministry
teams are "raised up" from the local congregations,
chosen and called by that congregation for specific ministries.
The Priest serves as "sacramentalist," or celebrant
in the sacramental rites and blessings of the church. The Deacon
has a special ministry of servanthood, to interpret to the congregation
the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world. The Liturgist,
selects appropriate music and liturgy for worship services for
the season and occasion, and schedules and supervises the lay
participants for each service. The Intercessor gathers the petitions
and the names of those for whom we pray as a congregation, leads
us in corporate prayer, and provides us with opportunities to
grow in our prayer life and ministries. The Evangelist helps
spread the Word and connects the church to the community. The
Preacher interprets the word in homilies and meditations. The
Administrator provides wide-ranging administrative functions
in the life of the church, including administration of financial
activities, church office and Total Ministry team management,
and liaison with the diocese and other agencies and organizations
conducting business or scheduling activities with the church.
The Pastoral Care Minister serves as an Eucharistic Visitor,
visiting the sick and the homebound and those in special need
of spiritual companionship and friendship, helps identify those
in need of pastoral care, and brings their needs to the Deacon
and the Intercessor. Another important role for the Total Ministry
team is the Catechist, or instructor for casndidates preparing
for baptism or for confirmation, reaffirmation, and reception
into our church.
