Purpose: Connecting People to Jesus.
Vision: Trinity Lutheran Church and Schools is a 21st Century outpost where people are supported, equipped, and launched into personal ministry.
Mission: The people of Trinity Lutheran live out our vision by expressing a personal discipleship with this UP – IN – OUT attitude and approach. As Christ reaches down to us we are and have:
~UP – A personal relationship with God. Engaged in worship, Bible study and prayer.
~IN – Connected to other believers in Biblical Community. Engaged in small groups, acts of service and caring.
~OUT – An expression of how each person is participating in the advancement of the Mission of God. Engaged in witnessing, supporting mission.
Why is our logo a hand print?
As we reach Up, In, and Out we leave prints of God’s love in our community and world. God uses his people to share the saving message of mercy and forgiveness through Christ Jesus.
