Not just any church can accomplish the mission that we have at Trinity Church.  In order to successfully achieve our mission, we must be a distinctive kind of church.  We are a family with a distinctive set of deeply held beliefs about how we do ministry.

 
Relational Evangelism We believe that people matter to God an therefore ought to matter to us (Luke 15).
   
Intentional   Discipleship We believe that full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer.  We measure success by the quality of disciples we build for Christ (Heb. 12:1; Luke 9:23-24).
   
Authentic Community 

We believe Christian growth, life change, and pastoral care happens best in safe, authentic relationships.  God made us to know and be known, serve and be served, love and be loved, celebrate and be celebrated (Acts 2:42-46).

 

   
Biblical Truth

We believe the Word of God is the catalyst for transformation and we call people to submission under its wisdom and authority (2 Tim. 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12).

 

   
Healthy Family We believe the family is God’s building block for society.  We desire to help strengthen and equip homes, mend and heal broken families and encourage dads to shepherd their families. Family-centered ministry is a high priority – first to men, as well as women, couples, students and children (Eph. 5:22-6:4).
   
Empowering Leaders  We believe in identifying and training emerging leaders who are fully committed to Christ.  Our goal is to reproduce our lives in others and expand the base of leadership.  The ultimate test of a successful leader is not necessarily found in what he does, but rather, in what others are doing as a result of what he has done (2 Tim. 2:2).
   
Gift-based Service

We believe God has called every believer to be a minister, not a spectator.  We believe discovering, developing, and deploying gifts with a servant-heart is God’s strategy for changing the world (Eph. 4:12-16; 2:10; Rom. 12).

 

   
Transforming Grace We believe God wants to redeem every part of us.  Fears, failures, and broken parts can be restored and made whole through a ministry of grace, truth and time to the mind, will, body and spirit (2 Cor. 12:9).

 

   
Dynamic Worship We believe through bold preaching and contemporary participative worship experiences, people will acknowledge the presence of God in their midst, glorify Him, and find themselves being transformed. (Col. 3:17; 2 Tim 4:2)
   
Life Changing Prayer We believe we must be willing to step out in visionary faith and take risks for God while at the same time undergird the ministry with bold prayer.  We daily surrender to the leadership of the Spirit.  (Heb. 11:6; John 15:5)
   
 
If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, this is the vision we want you to adopt and live out.  Life is too short to spend it doing something irrelevant.  Becoming a “big shot”, making lots of money, amassing lots of power, stockpiling lots of stuff – these are not relevant reasons for living.  Changing people’s lives and their eternal destinies IS!  This is the exciting privilege that God has given us on the Northshore.  We invite you to come and join us in changing this region for Jesus Christ.
