Volunteer Leadership

Our Leadership Team at Trinity is made up of the Pastor and the members of Church Council. They work together to ensure that God’s work is done through the people of Trinity.

The Church Council consists of the Officers and the Directors of the boards.  Each board is made up of volunteers from the church who are passionate about carrying out God’s ministry at Trinity.
