WHAT WE BELIEVE

We are Trinitarian, confessing God as Creator of all that is, Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and the Holy Spirit as God’s ongoing presence with us. 

We recognize that we are sinners who fail to fully love God and our neighbors, and are made right with God not by our own action or merit, but by the grace of God. 

We affirm that the spiritual journey to which we are called by God is not one that we are called to walk alone, but that the Christian journey is inherently a communal one, modeled in Christ and enabled by the Holy Spirit. 

We seek to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8) 

We see ourselves as part of a larger church community that extends beyond the bounds of our building, of our denomination, of our time, and more. 

We take the Bible too seriously to take it literally, thus we listen not only to its words but to the Holy Spirit which speaks to us through it. 

We celebrate and honor the work of the Holy Spirit in calling people of all backgrounds, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, and more into service and leadership. 

We value music as a vital part of our worship and include music from a variety of styles and cultures. 

We celebrate communion on the first Sunday of the month and on other holy days (Maundy Thursday, Easter, Christmas Eve, etc.)

Prayer Groups

Trinity Presbyterian Church offers two separate prayer groups settings for those interested in joining the devotional life of this congregation. Read more about the opportunity to fellowship and grow in our Contemplative Prayer Group or our Fixed Hour Prayer Group.

Contemplative Prayer

Contemplative Prayer is a less familiar form of prayer to many, yet has deep Christian roots.  Its primary focus is on being present with God, often without words.   Trinity has many various contemplative prayer groups over the years that introduce various forms of contemplative prayer to Trinity folk (including Breath Prayer, Lectio Divina, Walking the Labyrinth, the Examen, and more).  Spiritual Direction Groups have also been offered at various times, inviting committed participants to listen contemplatively for the often subtle whisperings of the divine in their lives.

One form of contemplative prayer currently being offered regularly is Centering Prayer.   Centering Prayer is form of silent prayer in which one releases thoughts, feelings, and memories to make oneself present to God.  The group meets over Zoom every Thursday morning from 8:30 a.m to 9:15 a.m. and participants are encouraged to pray this same prayer on their own.  20 minutes of each meeting is spent together in silent Centering Prayer, then the remaining time is spent discussing the practice, one’s experience of it, and a book the group members read independently.  All are welcome to join!

Fixed Hour Prayer

Known variously by different terms (the divine office, the liturgy of the hours, fixed hour prayer), there has been a long and deep tradition within Christianity of praying at regular times throughout the day using a prayer book.   Such a practice helps to establish a rhythm of prayer in the life of Christians, and does so in a way that immerses them in the tradition and language of the church.  Many of these prayer books use the psalms (sometimes called “the prayer book of the Bible”) as a regular source.   

Trinity encourages this practice among its members.   A small group meets weekly over Zoom on Friday mornings to pray together using a prayer book chosen together.   We typically spend about 10 minutes reading the prayers together, then reflect on the prayer and share other prayer concerns.    We conclude within 30 minutes.  During the rest of the week, we encourage each other to pray on our own using the chosen prayer book.   All are welcome!  If you are interested in participating, please contact Pastor Craig.
