Dear Trinity,
To listen to, or read, an important building update from Pastor Matt, please click below!
The building team is ready to share conceptual designs of the church building and its grounds this spring. Thank you Trinity for your patience over the last two years.
Two opportunities to learn more about the work completed will take place this spring.
First, Robert Myers will walk us through his vision for our exterior spaces. Robert is a landscape designer who has worked with some of the most treasured spaces in England.
Second, Alex Coppock, of Communion Design, will return to walk us through the conceptual design of the church building.
As a refresher, our journey began in 2022 when we were gifted our church from the Brethren Baptist at 10% of its assessed value. That fall, Alex Coppock us through a visioning exercise.
In 2023, the results of the visioning exercise were woven into the architectural brief that guided schematic design. Also, the history of our church was captured in “This Old Church - An Origin Story”.
In 2023 KDA Architects translated Alex's drawing into a digital master plan working with county codes, inspections, surveying and actual costs for the restoration.
Additionally in 2024, Rimmer & Roeter Construction committed much time to “know the bones” of our church as well as provide estimates of cost.
The final chapter of schematic design is currently underway as Alex, Robert & Claire work to integrate & refine the work of KDA.
We will have a congregational meeting showing all this one night this Spring.
Please come and see!
Sincerely,
Guy Evans (for the Building Team)

Equipping Families to Prevent Childhood Sexual Abuse
March 15 @ 7:00 pm
Hello, Trinity Church!
Natalie Eggers here with an invitation to come join me on Saturday, March 15, from 7 - 9 PM, at the church. I’ll be helping you learn what you can do to support your kids in the prevention of sexual abuse, using core concepts from the Zero Abuse Project. The statistics on childhood sexual abuse are upsetting, and as a parent myself, I feel the temptation to pull away from this topic.
But that avoidance is a big part of the issue. Our youth need us to lean in, to move through any fear and anxiety it causes to think about this topic so that we can help them gain the understanding and the skills they need to keep themselves safe. My hope is that you will each leave with some very practical tools, conversation starters, and feeling encouraged for guiding your kids in this very important part of their life.
Hope to see you there!
