CAPITAL CAMPAIGN EXPLORE WAYS TO GIVE GIVE ONLINE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TRINITY FOUNDATION MISSION SUPPORT Keep Shining Beyond the Campaign Over the past fifteen years, Trinity has faithfully undertaken three capital campaigns that led to the construction of our building addition and renewed energy for our ministries. In 2024, we reached a major milestone worth celebrating: Trinity has completely paid off the debt for our building addition. What an incredible accomplishment made possible by the generosity, commitment, and shared vision of this congregation. As we celebrate this achievement, we also look ahead with gratitude and hope. We encourage the congregation to continue their generous support of the Building Improvement Fund, just as they have in the past. Your gifts ensure that Trinity remains a safe, welcoming, and functional space for our congregation and the wider community. This continued support is not only an investment in our building, but in our shared mission to serve, grow, and uplift others. Thank you for your faithful generosity. Gifts can be given online or by contacting Financial Secretary, Gail Cassidy at gcassidy@trin.org or 952-955-1891. GIVE ONLINE Capital Campaign History In 2013, Trinity embarked on a three-year capital campaign called, “In Christ, New Light”. This campaign raised over $681,000 and launched the building addition that included a new elevator, new gathering hall, new offices, better handicapped accessibility, and air conditioning for the entire facility. In 2016, Trinity engaged in another three-year capital campaign called, “Shine Where You Are” to continue debt reduction on the building addition. This campaign raised over $667,000, almost as much as the first campaign! Finally, in 2019, Trinity held a third campaign which raised over $382,000 under the theme, "Shine On and Share God's Light!" Through all of these campaigns, Trinity took a leap of faith in building a facility that would help us reach our goals of becoming a new kind of church that would not only help members connect their faith with their every day lives, but would also help the congregation reach out to the community in stronger ways.

LENT & EASTER EXPLORE WORSHIP DETAILS ONLINE WORSHIP MUSIC BULLETINS WORSHIP VOLUNTEERS Lent at Trinity During Lent, Trinity will be using a series from Church Anew. The series theme is Unbound: Longing for Wholeness . Together we'll explore the idea of the opposite of being bound is being whole. Our world is filled with things that hold us captive. These things that bind us prevent us from living the whole, abundant life that God has promised us. Through the stories of regular people encountering Jesus, and being drawn to the wholeness that Jesus provides, we can learn about our own longings and be drawn into wholeness.
