Precept:  A disciple of Jesus Christ at Trinity United Methodist Church seeks to grow and guide others in the Love of God and community through meaningful, intentional relationships and personal development.

A disciple of Jesus Christ at Trinity United Methodist Church acts with:
  • HUMILITY, seeking to be a model of God’s love in word and deed (Colossians 3:12-17);
  • INTENT, living by purpose and decision (Ephesians 5:15-16);
  • RECOGNITION of his/her position as a servant leader, offering his/her talents and gifts to God and others (Romans 12:4-7);
  • OBEDIENCE to Christ’s essential commandments to love God and love people (Matthew 22:37-39).​
Cumulatively, a disciple of Jesus Christ at Trinity United Methodist Church seeks to model these principles through acts of service and loving outreach to others as a fundamental application of faith.
  • CULTIVATE – Create an environment conducive to growth
  • CHRISTIAN – Jesus Christ is at the center (who He is, what He taught, what He did) and deepening our relationship with Him.
  • COVENANT – A way of being in relationship with God and others.
  • COMMUNITY – Sharing fellowship and learning, but most importantly, sharing ourselves and our experiences. People learn best in the context of community.
