Elders are called to discern God's will and direction for our church. They are responsible for all day-to-day operations, programs, ministries, missions, and finances. Elders make up the Session of Trinity that meets once a month and each elder serves on a specific ministry team. This commitment is normally for three years.

The elders are divided into five ministry teams and one committee. Each team/committee also has members-at-large from the congregation and staff support. Listed below is a brief description of each team’s responsibilities and the elders serving on that team.
