LEADERSHIP

Elders

  • Drake Burrows

    LEAD PASTOR

    Drake serves as the Lead Pastor of Trinity Church. He and his wife Lydia have been married since 2016 and are blessed with two children. He serves the church as the primary teacher and preacher, leads the elder team, and casts vision for the ministry of the church.

  • Daniel Tanner

    ELDER

    Daniel serves as a lay elder at Trinity Church. He and his wife Ellen have been married since 2021 and are blessed with two children.

  • Thomas Hext

    ELDER

    Thomas serves as a lay elder at Trinity Church. He and his wife Aeriole have been married since 2013 and are blessed with three children.

The Elders (or pastors) are men who are called, tested, qualified, and appointed to serve, instruct, care for, and lead the church. They instruct the church in matters of doctrine, provide spiritual care for the church, guard the flock against false teaching, administer the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper, and equip the saints for the work of the ministry.

We believe that a team of elders (rather than a single pastor) is both biblical and practical. The elders of Trinity differ in experience and gifting—one or two may preach more frequently than others—but all are equal in authority and share the work of shepherding the church.

* See Ephesians 4:12-16; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Acts 20:17-35
