Trinity United Methodist Church

See what groups we have to offer!

At Trinity, we enjoy a human network of support, encouragement and direction as we seek to follow Christ.
 

This is Koinonia, a Greek word that expresses the love we share together in Christ (Acts 2:42-47). God is best able to form disciples inside community.

Together. And not by ourselves. The fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) discovered in the presence of love. They are honed in community.
 

None of us are perfect. We are sinners saved by God’s grace (Ephesians 1:7-8) Within this community, we are encouraging one another to be more giving, more forgiving, and more loving to all around us.
  Together, we are praying, praising, preparing, and practicing God’s love.
   

Intentional Faith Development

One of the ways we become in tune with God's purpose for our lives in through Intentional Faith Development. There are many ways to do this.

• Christian education (including Sunday School  - regular small group study once a week. We have classes for about every age group.
• Small home groups - meeting during the week, these groups study a particular book of the Bible or perhaps a faith discipline
• Youth groups - Weekly gatherings, Youth Praise Team, Retreats, Summer Mission Trip and more.
• Church-wide workshops - corporate study of a common curriculum that involves the entire membership
• Prayer groups - Many ways to develop an active prayer and meditative life
• Circles - these are groups where long-term relationships form around faith building and develop into avenues of community service
• Beakfasts, banquets, and dinners - Jolly events, like a recent chili cook-off, help us strengthen the "tie that binds" -- although they can have a detrimental effect on our waistbands ;-) .
• Many other events and groups that help us share our faith in love with those around us.

Christian Education groups meet every Sunday. Classes involve ages from adults to nursery.

Everyone is invited to take part in the study of their choice.  You may attend any class at any time, whether you have been in that group before or not.  You are especially invited to explore different classes as new topics are offered. Please join us in whatever class interests you most.

Adult Classes

The Kyle Class meets at 9:45 AM on the lower level in the room by the office.  They are studying the book Shaped by the Word by M. Robert Mulholland, Jr.  This book teaches a new way to read Scripture, moving from informational reading to formational reading, for a more vibrant relationship with God.

The Gill Class meets on the lower level in the room by the social hall. They are using the Adult Bible Studies series which discusses books of the Old and New Testaments. Presently, the topics are from Isaiah and Mark.

The Discovery Class meets on the main floor by the prayer room.  They are presently studying the book When Christians Get It Wrong by Adam Hamilton.  This book explores some of the ways in which the attitudes and behavior of Christians "turn off" non-Christians.  There is a video presentation which accompanies each chapter of the book.  This study is an appropriate follow-on to the class's previous study of What's So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey.

The Wesleyan Class meets at 9:45 AM on the main floor in the room across from the Sunday school office (next to the Discovery Class).  They are presently studying The Deeper Journey by M. Robert Mulholland, Jr.  This is a deeper study of the Christian faith, getting to the core of the transforming power of living in Christ as He lives in us.

The Live and Learn Class meets on the lower level in the social hall.

Classes for Children and Youth

There are three classes for Pre-K through 5th Grade.  They meet on the main floor in rooms beyond the elevator.  They use the Rock Solid series and are studying the parables and teachings of Jesus.

The Middle School class meets at the end of the hall on the main floor.  They are studying the Claiming the Life series on Word.  The lessons revolve around key words and phrases from Scripture.

The Senior High class meets on the lower level in the Youth Room.  They are currently studying Jesus Christ for Youth by Robert Conn.

Trinity Youth (grades rising 6th through senior high) meet Sunday night at the church (in the Youth Room) and for special events. Contact Ansley Higginbotham for more information.

We have a lot going on. Interest in classes is growing. Share the excitement.
