About Us: Our Vision and Values
Trinity Community Church's vision is to build redemptive communities through Christ.
The Bible teaches that God is at work giving people new life (2 Cor 5:17) and uniting them together to demonstrate His life and character in the world (Acts 2:1-12, Eph 3:8-10). We want to join what God is doing and invite others to participate as a member of this new community. This happens as we honor Jesus Christ above all else and strive to make the good news of His death and resurrection the central motivator for all that we do.
As work towards this goal, we have several distinctives that guide our efforts.
Word-Driven
- We take the Bible seriously because we believe it to be God's very word that enables us to know Christ and the work He does in our lives. Every Sunday we meet and study the word together and let the word challange and shape our lives.
- We want to help people understand the Bible better, whether they are seasoned Christians or skeptics with hard questions. We help seekers find the answers they are looking for and discuss questions that are relevant to their lives.
Spirit-Led
- Our church began with a vision to enable more freedom for the work of the Holy Spirit. We remain committed to this practice and encourage people to receive ministry from the Holy Spirit and use their gifts in love for others.
- We gather together to encourage each other in small groups that meet in homes. These small groups, or "LifeGroups" allow us pray for each other, share our lives and encourage each other with the word of God.
- We support each other in men's and women's fellowship groups. These same-gender groups create supportive settings that help us grow as men and women of God.
Mission-Focused
- We want to understand the culture around us and find ways of bringing the good news of Jesus into the broader communities around our church and lives.
- We create exciting and challenging groups for our children, junior high-schoolers and senior high-schoolers.
- We help people in the community and in our church who have pressing needs through our various ministries, such as Love, INC. We also distribute food throughout the community to families in need.
- The focus of mission is not limited to Lake County and we have to opportunity to invest in a number of places around the world. We have traveled to Haiti and are currently planning a trip to Guatemala.
We are actively in partnership with Christ Together Movement in Lake County and adhere to the foundational documents of the Gospel Coalition.
