Our Mission

We believe God is calling Trinity United Church to:

What do those words mean? Well, we gather together because we think that’s what God wants for us—to be a community. More than a community, we are like a big family who take care of each other and work hard to love and care for the world around us. And, like Jesus, we try to love and welcome everyone — regardless of who they are or where they come from!

We use a rotational model of Sunday school where children engage the bible story through crafts, cooking, games, discovery, music, drama and more! All children are welcome!

Nursery

Children from birth to age 3 are cared for by a paid caregiver. Our nursery is a cozy, safe and fun place for children to spend time in while their parents, grandparents or caregivers attend worship service. Our caregivers must pass a vulnerable sector criminal record screening.

Mustard Seed Theatre Group

Mustard Seed Theatre sprang from the idea that important things can grow from tiny actions.  In the parable of the mustard seed, Jesus compares the tiny seed to the Kingdom of Heaven, revealing that the smallest of seeds sprout into a great plant that provides shelter for living creatures (Mark 4:31-32).  Mustard Seed was created in 2007 to provide opportunities for youth to build community around a common love of theatre.

What People Say About Trinity

If you're looking for a church be sure to check Trinity out. Sunday services start at 10:30. There's lots of great music with a senior and junior choir, and often instrumental accompaniment. They also have a bell choir, and the JOY Community Band is based there. And if you have children I'm sure they'll enjoy their very active Sunday School program.
