What to expect

Ancient worship, warm welcome

Worship is the center of life at Trinity. It's where we gather as a community to learn about and praise God through Jesus Christ. Our services follow an ancient pattern shared by liturgical churches around the world: we gather, hear God's Word, share the meal, and are sent out to serve.

Scripture readings come from the Revised Common Lectionary, the same texts read that day in many Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian and Methodist churches. Music ranges from our pipe organ and choirs to handbells, brass and contemporary songs.

  • Come as you are. There's no dress code.
  • Everything you need is printed in the bulletin or on screen.
  • All the baptized are welcome at Holy Communion.
  • No pressure, no spotlight. Just a friendly hello.
