The plan for the new three-year cycle ( ) builds on our previous plan to build relationships, make connections, and build foundations, all in concert with our mission to worship, connect, and serve. It also focuses on our current appeal, Honor Our Past, Plan Our Future and on projects that go beyond capital improvements: expanding small group ministries, strengthening our relationship with Trinity s preschool, approaching inactive members, enhancing community outreach, and missions. Read the plan on our website or ask at the church office. Familiarize yourself so that you can be a key branch growing on our faith-tree vine.
