About Trinity

If you have never been to Trinity here's some information that might be helpful for you before you visit.  Please contact one of our site pastors, Dennis Franzen or  Dan Grissom if you have  questions about the church that are not addressed here.  Our Connection Center in the lobby of the church is also staffed with helpful people who are there to serve you!   When you arrive at Trinity a member of our Greeter team will be there to help guide you. 
 
 
How should I dress?
Come casual. Most folks wear jeans, a pair of khakis, or business casual; whatever you're most comfortable in. People attending the Sunday 8:00 am and 9:30 am services sometimes dress a little more formally.
 
What about my children?
While you are worshipping, your child will not want to miss GRACEKids!  We encourage you have your children participate in our exciting kids' programs designed just for them!   Wonder House nursery is for children up to 3 years of age.  We also have activities for your children to do during the service if you choose to keep them with you for worship.
 
How long is the worship service and what is it like?
The worship service typically lasts 60 minutes. In our Sunday 8:00 am and 9:30 am services, we follow a liturgical style accompanied by vocal and bell choirs, the pipe organ and hymns. Our Saturday 5:30 pm and Sunday 11:00 am worship service is upbeat and energetic in a casual environment.  Worship is led by a praise band. 
 
Our worship is celebratory and engaging, and you are invited to participate as you feel comfortable. Some people sing and clap along; others might lift their hands humbly in worship; some might simply listen and reflect quietly. We invite you to be who you are and to seek God without any fear of hype or manipulation.
 
In both services  you'll experience solid, engaging teaching from the Bible by our lead pastor Mark Schulz or a member of the teaching team.  You'll find our teachers to be relevant, authentic, and passionate about helping you to understand how the Bible applies to your life today. Guests regularly tell us this part of the service helps them authentically connect with God.

The teaching often features inspirational and engaging videos and drama that make the service even more memorable and impacting.  You'll always get something on Sunday you can use on Monday!  And you'll leave uplifted, challenged and ready to experience the life God offers you through Jesus Christ.
 
GRACE Cafe
A favorite gathering spot before and after the service is our GRACE Cafe located just off the lobby.  Please stop by for some great coffee and delicious treats.  On Sundays you can enjoy coffee, tea, juice, donuts, bagels, breakfast bars and fruit.  Saturday evening we have soft drinks and appetizers.  At least once a month we have the option to order dinner for a small charge as you enter into the worship service.  After the worship service your meal is ready to go!  You can stay and eat together with others in the atrium or take your meal home.
 
Will anyone point me out or embarrass me?
No. You won't be asked to do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable. We'll greet you warmly, help you find your way around, and answer any questions you might have. A connect card is available to give you an opportunity to let us know how we can serve you. We want to make sure all guests know there is no obligation to give money - your presence with us is a great gift!
