Trinity Episcopal Church is committed to empowering its members in their lifelong journey of faithful living, hoping that every parishioner will be dedicated to spiritual growth and development. Please consider taking time to share your experience with these programs with the Trinity community via Trinity’s Facebook page.
Trinity offers a variety of opportunities for adult spiritual formation:
Sunday Opportunities – Presently we offer large-group learning and discussion in the Great Hall from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. Beginning in Advent of 2021, we will offer large, medium, and small group formation activities between 10:30 am and 11:20 am on Sundays. These will include lecture-style teaching, spiritual practices training and discussion, and small group discussion such as Bible Study. They will occur in our Great Hall, Library, and Children’s Chapel. For a schedule of initial activities, see here.
Beyond Belief
Our program “Beyond Belief” is a monthly, informal, theology discussion on topics of choice brought by folks who attend! It is generally the 1st Wednesday of each month at 6pm at Canterbury House. However, occasionally it has to be moved or dropped due to Holy Days and such! Here is the 2023 schedule.
Education for Ministry (EfM)
Do you have questions about your faith? Most people do, and most find it challenging to get answers. Education for Ministry (EfM) was developed by the School of Theology in Sewanee, Tennessee, and is sponsored regionally by the diocese, to provide a mechanism for people to work through those questions. This four-year course of study provides the framework for the group to connect faith to their daily lives through reading and discussion.
Meeting once a week in small groups with people from your neighborhood, led by mentors trained to facilitate the experience, you will begin to think theologically, reflect faithfully, and speak civilly when confronted by beliefs and principles in opposition to your own. And that’s something we can all appreciate in today’s world.
By being an EfM participant, you will learn how to articulate your faith. You will learn how to shape your faith into action. You will become involved in ministries in your community and you will make a difference. Interested parties are strongly encouraged to contact Gloria Hasler at gloriahasler0915@gmail.com.
Small Groups
WNO meets on the second Tuesday of each month. For more information, contact Judith Garrison at jlsgarrison@gmail.com.
For our Newcomers
Once a month, generally the last Sunday of each month, at 10:30 am, we present a series of 45-minute classes and discussions about the history, structure, and beliefs of the Episcopal Church. A full schedule is here.
