Our Strategies
*Our Strategies* are Come, Connect, Commit, Celebrate, Contribute and Carry.

Come to Christ.
We value a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in order to experience and accept God's unconditional love and saving grace.

Connect to Grow.
We value membership at Trinity Baptist Church in order to be nurtured, strengthened, and supported as a member of the body of Christ.

Commit to Serve.
We value the unique ministry of every Christian in order that each person may discover their unique calling and God-given gifts to serve the needs of others. We value local and community outreach in order to respond to Christ's love by serving the needs of people in our community and the world.

Celebrate in Community.
We value worship, song, and ordinances in order to thank and praise God and be fed by God's Word as we gather together as the body of Christ.

Contribute to the Cause.
We value worship through the giving of tithes and offerings, as God has prospered us, towards the expenses of a faithful and evangelical ministry among us. We will also contribute cheerfully and regularly for the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. * Carry the Message * We value home and family as the place where we are nurtured and equipped in a lifestyle of faith in order to carry the message of God's love in Jesus Christ into all aspects of our everyday lives.

Carry the Message.
We "Carry" the message to others. That begins in our family and with our friends and continues throughout the world as we together help to lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus. We value global mission and personal outreach in order to carry the message of God's saving grace in Jesus Christ to all people.
