Care & Counseling
care for one another.
Care Team.
Our call is to care for one another, not only through joy and celebration, but most especially through crisis and loss. At Trinity care is a foundational ministry in our life together. We care for one another through a team approach involving both pastors and intentionally trained and equipped lay leaders.
There are four basic categories of concern which invite a pastoral care response, listed below. To learn more or find out how to receive care, contact the Trinity Office.
