Vision
for
2024
• A house of worship and music, service, and spiritual formation; where all people are welcomed at Christ’s table. • A community, grounded in the Gospel, that “invites, welcomes, and connects” all people to God and to one another. • A devoted family, open to all, that loves, supports, and cares for one another. • A nurturing home for spiritual growth, from birth through adulthood. • A compassionate partner striving for justice in our community; Trinity inspires servant leaders who collaborate with those we serve to identify and address the systemic causes and effects of injustice in New Orleans and beyond. • A thriving holy space with facilities that support our mission and continuous growth. • An anti-racist church committed to undoing the effects of systemic and institutional racism.
