Dear Trinity Members and Friends,

Before the congregation elected the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) the Long Range Planning Team spent months working on a Mission Study that would inform the PNC in the work of calling a new pastor. One aspect of that study included a congregational assessment where you were asked to prioritize what we should be focused on as a congregation. The priorities you listed were:

  1. Grow Trinity Presbyterian Church

  2. Make the necessary changes to attract families with youth and young children

  3. Engage in mission with in our local community


Your Session has been working hard for a year now to create opportunities to pursue those priorities. The one thing that the Session is certain of is that to be successful at achieving those three goals we must have you participating in the ministry of Trinity Presbyterian Church.
The attached questionnaire has been developed to facilitate the volunteer process. If you are not currently volunteering on one of our teams but would like to, please complete the questionnaire. Our hope is to create a readily available source of information connecting our members with opportunities to serve. It will be most helpful, if each adult, and youth, in your household can complete their own questionnaire. In this way, our church records can be updated and a database developed where need can be matched with those willing to serve.
The questionnaire is mechanized in that you can complete it on line, return it electronically, and your responses will be recorded in the church office. Those who prefer a paper format can print the form, complete it, and mail to or drop off at the church office. Paper copies will also be available at the Welcome Centers for your convenience.


Thanks in advance for your cooperation and your willingness to share time and talents to the glory of God.
