Dick Cain:

What have I been most thankful for about Trinity Church? I am grateful to God for His persistent blessing on a mobile church like ours. Many come and many leave in a college community like our own, but God has continued to add to our number in spite of not having a permanent facility. I am grateful for all the new people who have plugged into life and relationships at Trinity. I rejoice over those who have returned to Trinity and are serving Christ joyfully in our midst. I am also incredibly grateful for all those who pull ministry oars at our church. Many of you have sacrificed time and treasure. Others of you have made intentional investments of your talents and gifts so that the gospel might make progress in our community and world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
What are you most looking forward to about the new building?
My burden is that our new facility doesn't become a landing pad where we become spiritual complacent and comfortable. I look forward to watching irreligious and religious people connect with Christ in our new facility...couples united in marriage...  babies and  new professing believers  baptized... marriages restored..  collegians challenged to attempt great things for God. I look forward to meeting all the people who will be impacted by the loving people and the liberating gospel that are the hallmarks of our church.

Steve Johnson:

What have I been most thankful about Trinity Church in the past year? I have been the most thankful for the ways I have seen many of our members step up and take part in some of our ministry teams.  It has been encouraging to see parents and youth working along side each other to help make the student ministry at Trinity much stronger.  I am also encouraged and thankful for those who help to teach and lead in our Sunday Schools and small groups.  
What are you most looking forward to about the new building?  Other than the basics of a nice, clean place to meet, I look forward to seeing how the Lord is going to use our church building--just as he has used those who make up the church--for the extension of His kingdom.

 

Mark Brown:

What have I been most thankful for about Trinity Church in the past year? I have been most thankful for the way God's people at Trinity have loved one another sacrificially through acts of service and love when friends and church family have gone through trials and conflict. This has been a great source of encouragement to me in my walk with Christ to see our body of believers building stronger relationships with one another.
What are you most looking forward to about the new building? I am looking forward to having a place of our own to worship and meet. Also, I will indeed weep for joy immeasurably when there will no longer be any extra set-up at 7:15 in the mornings on Sundays!!!!

 

Lisa Snead:

What have I been most thankful about Trinity Church in the past year? I have been most thankful for such a gracious work environment.  Our Trinity staff members are all very kind and patient.  As I have adjusted to my new role as Administrative Assistant this past year, everyone has been so encouraging.  They have a love for the Lord, a sense of humor and are full of grace.  Some might think that when you work closely with people, you see their "not so good" side.  Working at Trinity has made me respect our staff even more!

What are you most looking forward to about the new building? I'm looking forward to seeing what the Lord is going to do when we move into our new building.  I really don't know!  I'm hoping for growth and opportunities for outreach that did not exist when we were without a building. 

 

Bethany and Alex Vaughn:

What have you been most thankful for about Trinity Church in the past year? We have been very thankful to Trinity for giving us a place to serve the Lord and helping us to further discern the Lord's call to ministry in our lives.

What are you most looking forward to about the new building?  Not having to constantly cart around a trunk full of stuff!  One week the bag boy at Publix asked if I was moving.  I responded, "No, I just work for a church with no building."
