Mission & Vision
MISSION STATEMENT:
Making God's Presence Real by Sharing Christ's Life-Changing Love.
CORE VALUES
- WORSHIP. We offer traditional and eclectic worship authentically celebrated through music, art, and ritual.
- COMMUNITY. We are an inclusive, caring community where people of diverse backgrounds are embraced and valued. We strive to embody humility, acceptance, forgiveness and respect for all.
- RESPONSIVENESS TO GOD'S CALL. We are open to the Holy Spirit to bring people together into relationship to God and one another in a changing urban context.
OUR VISION
- CHRISTIAN FORMATION. Opportunities for Christian Education abound for all ages, using arts, music, and activities to nurture spiritual formation, meeting people where they are in their personal journeys.
- FACILITIES. Trinity creatively uses its campus and surrounding community real estate to share the Love of Christ, creating multiple venues for fellowship, education and outreach.
- OUTREACH. Broad outreach is grounded in and responsive to our midtown neighborhood, building on current Homeless (Lord of the Streets, "LOTS") and Young Urban Adult (Houston Community College) ministries where Christ is brought to a hurting world.
- WELCOMING. All who visit Trinity are warmly welcomed, provided information, and broadly introduced. New members are provided intentional opportunities to use their gifts in all aspects of church life.
- YOUTH FORMATION. Trinity's youth community is growing and vibrant with multiple opportunities for leadership development, involvement in Parish and community life, and spirit.
