making meaningful connections

We’re excited to offer an expanded range of opportunities for connection and growth within our Adult Ministry.

These gatherings are where we find purpose through listening, learning, and laughing together.

Group updates, details and registration will be shared in weekly emails, online, via text-to-Trinity links, worship announcements, and/or at the Sign-Up Center.
