The Vision of Trinity Church
We expect the Spirit of Christ working through the body of Christ to transform us more
and more into the likeness of Christ .
To become a congregation of Christians that provides its members formative experiences
which help them live out the promises of the Baptismal Covenant in their daily lives.
Baptized Christians promise to:
Continue in the Apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the
prayers," by worshipping regularly in church, continuing to learn about Jesus and the
Christian faith, participating and supporting the fellowship of the congregation, and
maintaining a personal relationship with God through prayer.
Preserve in resisting evil, and whenever they fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord.
Proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ.
Seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving their neighbors as themselves.
Strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.
