Team Trinity
Function:
​
Christian formation is the lifelong process of growing in our relationship with God, self, others, and all creation. Every experience in our lives can provide us with the opportunity to express our faith; the challenge we face is recognizing these opportunities and learning ways to live a sometimes countercultural life in a secular world.

Hospitality means welcoming the 'other' into your heart - whether the other is another person, or an idea or belief that is different than yours. It can even take the form of welcoming the strangers we discover within ourselves - things like attitudes, habits or shortcomings we don't particularly like having. So while hospitality can mean accepting other people, it can also mean accepting yourself, just the way you are.

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God. Stewardship is more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s also about contributing time and talents, and volunteering for ministry and mission. It’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.

This ministry of caring is at the heart of the church's life. It may include hospital visitation, counseling, and ministries of shared presence, listening, and support. Pastoral care can refer to the ministries of hospital chaplains, pastoral counselors and therapists, social workers, and other professionals who serve in the name of the church. It also includes parish ministries of clergy and laity who respond to human need.
Function:
​
Reaching out supports a diverse array of charitable organizations, many of which are local but some have national and international scope. Irrespective of the people or region benefited, the organizations exist to help and improve peoples’ lives and is committed to provide ongoing support.
