THE GUILDS, COMMISSIONS, AND MINISTRIES OF TRINITY EPSICOPAL CHURCH

Trinity Episcopal Church is an open and diverse Christian family dedicated to serving God and all creation.  We foster spiritual growth through worship, prayer, education, service, stewardship and celebration. As a historic and landmark parish in a thriving and changing community we seek, welcome and nurture all who wish to share our journey.

Trinity's structure of guilds and commissions is designed to provide for the body of the parish the same sort of total-body involvement that the service offers for us as individuals.  In addition to the guilds and ministries, we offer other ministries that benefit out common life together and reach into the community. All of the guild and commission and other ministries of our parish are described in a brochure we prepared for Rally Day, 2007. Down load a copy of the Ministry Fair Brochure.
