Pastor's Message:

Please allow me through Trinity's web pages to encourage you to join us on Sunday Mornings at 9 AM. The Interim time at Trinity is a period of time when the congregation, leadership, and I are rediscovering and renewing the ministry and mission of this community of faith. We welcome you to be a significant part of this exciting time in the faith life of Trinity United Church of Christ! May your faith journey be a blessed encounter with The Living God of Time and Tide.  I hope to welcome you to Trinity's warm and welcoming sanctuary very soon. Rev. 'Mike' Beynon
