Help youth understand their life before God and develop a deeper relationship with Him
-
Cultivate and strengthen a Christian worldview
-
Instill in them a desire for outreach and community service
-
Encourage friendships within the covenant community
The Youth Group meets on the 2nd and 4th Sundays, from September to April after the evening service. Other special events include bi-monthly service projects, fun outings, and a soup supper.

Ladies Fellowship
Sisters in prayer
(sip)
Trinity’s SIP “Ministry” — Sisters in Prayer — is intended to be a ministry of prayer and encouragement for participating women of our church.
Uniting in prayer — for our personal needs and the needs of others — draws us closer to God and one another, as we share in each other's burdens and seek the Lord’s will for our lives. It’s praying for one another, but it can also be more than that.
This “Ministry” is intended to provide an enjoyable, fun opportunity for ladies to minister to, encourage and be a blessing to one another, to edify and build one another up in the faith, and grow our relationship with Christ through prayer and acts of love and kindness.
Additionally, it is hoped that this will form, build and strengthen relationships in our church.
