“Trinity is fostering a haven of belonging where wanderers and wonderers gather to discover and embody the love of Jesus in the world.”
Our vision for Trinity evolves as we do - changing to reflect what we continue to learn about God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and ourselves. While we gather together often, we know the buildings or spaces that hold us are not the Church. Rather, we are the church - moving, learning, growing. We meet at a central location during our Sunday Gatherings but know that we experience our lives in neighborhoods - in the particularities of place. A collective of house churches focused on shared gifts, passions, and dreams, we come together as contemplative activists, thoughtfully embodying slow and steady care in our communities across our city.
Relationships are one of the ways we encounter and abide in the mystery of God. Knowing and being known are the ways we discover the love of God. We know that we encounter Jesus in loving relationships. And so, the Trinity family is made up of those that have wandered to the places they currently find themselves, finding belonging in not only their neighborhoods but in their people. Living in harmony with one another, fostering their common dreams, bearing witness to the image of God - the presence of Christ - in their uniqueness.
As a collective, our house churches unite regularly around a common table and a common hope. We come together to share in the story that is both ancient and ever-unfolding. We come together to listen, to learn, to doubt, to wonder, and to believe. Most importantly, we come together to figure out how to embody the truth of the good news. As we do, we find our place in the story and share how the story lives within us.
Gatherings are havens of belonging - healing experiences among people earnestly yearning for the Kin(g)dom of God that is both here and not yet. We practice an invitation and radical welcome to every person as a beloved member of the Kin(g)dom, no matter what has previously been communicated through words or actions. We are a place for wanderers and wonderers alike -- anyone who seeks to go deeper into life despite turning from dogmas, theologies of their youth, or faith altogether. We are a place for those who feel themselves being pulled back into the mystery. We are a place where connection and depth are fostered and valued - not just for those who call Trinity their church, but for the local community, too. We expand the traditional understanding of family - a place where neighbors are claimed as loved ones, where strangers become known. We are a place where stories are told with vulnerability and held as sacred glimpses of the divine.
Trinity’s mission is to foster a haven of belonging where wanderers and wonderers gather to discover and embody the love of Jesus in the world.
