Church of the Trinity
is a church with three "E's":
a church that is
Ecumenical, Evangelical, and Eucharistic.

Ecumenical
We are part of the Body of Christ, the church catholic (universal) and apostolic. The style of our worship service may differ from those to which you are accustomed. We attempt to reflect the diversity within Christianity, including elements from every Christian tradition, blending them to create a mosaic of new worship experiences. We uphold and believe in the historic creeds of the church while proclaiming the Good News in contemporary, inclusive language, so that ALL may know they are welcome in the dominion of God. We have applied for membership in the National Council of Churches. Our application is under study while we continue dialogue with that ecumenical body.

We also send an observer to the Council on Churches Uniting, and our founder, The Rev. Troy Perry, has attended special ecumenical observances with John Paul II. We have recently been granted observer status in the World Council of Churches, a beginning step towards membership in that global body.

Evangelical
We believe in Good News! Jesus Christ lived that we might know how to live, died to conquer death for us, and rose again that we might have life abundant and eternal. "God did not send Christ into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through Christ" (John 3:17). We believe that God is active in our lives today through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This enables us to strengthen, help, and heal one another as we change the world. We believe that God has given everyone the choice between life and prosperity or death and destruction. We choose life! We believe that God has empowered us to proclaim this Good News so that others can be "set free to be." You can experience this freedom too!

Eucharistic
Almost every service includes the celebration of the Lord's Supper (communion, or Eucharist) because Jesus said  "Do this in remembrance of me." The early church in the Acts of the Apostles included this as the central part of every church gathering and we continue in that tradition, using various traditions enjoyed by the church the last two thousand years - This sharing of bread and wine strengthens us in our faith and in our service to God and to one another. We use nonalcoholic wine exclusively. In all MCCs we celebrate "Open Communion." You need not be a member of this or any other church, but only desire a renewed life in Christ to participate. Jesus is the Host. We are all invited to share, not just as his guests, but as his friends.
