DISCIPLESHIP
A Framework for Discipleship
The Discipleship Pathway is a framework for discipleship and spiritual formation within our church. It consists of four structural elements: gatherings, community, courses, and service.
Far from being a burdensome requirement, the Pathway is an invitation to move deeper into the life of our church and experience the blessings of following Jesus, together.
-
Sunday Worship| Sunday gatherings are the primary way we gather as a church to worship, pray together, hear from God's Word, and receive the gift of the Lord's Supper. Find more info here.
Members Meetings | Members meetings are quarterly gatherings where we celebrate what God is doing in our midst, welcome new members, share ministry updates, enjoy fellowship with one another, and more!
Prayer Meetings | Prayer meetings are informal small-group gatherings where we pray for our city, church, and any pressing needs.
-
Community Groups | Community groups are small gatherings of 5-10 adults (plus children) that give us time and space to enjoy table fellowship, gospel conversation, and prayerful dependence on God. Sign up to find a group here.
Covenant Membership | Covenant membership is the way we express our vested commitment to one another as brothers and sisters in Christ in the local church. We welcome new members every quarter. To begin the membership process, sign up here. -
Welcome to Trinity | New to Trinity? Join us for an informal 45-minute course to learn about our church. We cover Trinity's mission and vision, how to get involved, and any questions you might have. Look forward to this course at the beginning of every quarter!
Equip Nights | Equip Nights are teaching-centric gatherings focused on specific aspects of our discipleship to Jesus.
-
Serve the Church | (Members-Only) We desire to follow Jesus's example: "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mt 20:28). At Trinity, we have three ways you can serve:
Hospitality Team: extend the welcome of Christ as people arrive on Sundays by preparing coffee/tea, setting up the space, and greeting those who arrive!
Production Team: extend the clarity of Christ by preparing audio/visual equipment for the worship team and preacher.
Worship Team: extend the glory of Christ by using your God-given skills to sing "songs, hymns, and spiritual songs" (Eph 5:19).
Serve the City | Our God is on a restorative, sinner-saving mission in the world through us, and so we desire to be the light of Christ in our city. Follow us on social media to find out ways to serve with the church!
Guiding Values
Our values shape every element of the Discipleship Pathway. When these values are cultivated in the local church, disciples of Jesus are brought into greater spiritual wholeness and maturity in the faith.
-
The Bible is the Word of God and therefore central to the Christian life. As Jesus said, "Man does not live by bread alone but by every word from the mouth of God" (Mt 4:4). We seek to create environments where the Bible is taught and treasured in order to equip every disciple for a lifetime of enjoying God through His Word.
-
Every disciple is a theologian. Put differently, we all have a view of what God is (or is not) like. At Trinity, we simply want be good theologians—those who know God as He truly is. We seek to create environments where disciples at every stage of their discipleship journey are equipped to know God deeply.
-
Every disciple is being spiritual formed. At Trinity, the great end of our spiritual formation is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. We dedicate time throughout the year to focus on the biblical and spiritual disciplines (or habits/means of grace) that shape us into His image. From prayer and fasting to community and Sabbath, we desire for the teachings of Scripture to shape us deeply—heart, soul, mind, and strength.
