Leadership

Trinity's Leadership Structure

Trinity Church is mission & values driven, staff led, lay leader equipped, and congregation empowered. In the words of our worship liturgy, we affirm that "Christ alone is the source of all Christian ministry" and that "by the Holy Spirit, all who believe and are baptized receive a ministry to witness to Jesus as Savior and Lord, and to love and serve those with whom they live and work." We are all ambassadors for Christ, who reconciles and makes whole.

Under Christ's authority, the Leadership Team provides overall direction for the church, including vision, values, finances, and staff leadership. The staff oversee specific ministry areas and work closely with the Consistories (elders and deacons) on each campus—Orange City and Hospers. Each campus also has ministry teams that serve in specific areas of ministry. Together, these leaders and teams support and equip the congregation as they live out Trinity’s mission.

Current Leaders / Teams

Leader Selection Process

The first step in our leader selection process is to have our congregation nominate members to serve as elders or deacons. The Nominations Team will take this input as they discern with potential leaders and put together a slate for a congregational vote in May or June.
