Small Group Ministry at Trinity
New Small Groups are forming now and most ongoing ones welcome new members.  For more information about the group and contact information for the facilitators, click on the groups that interest you or see our Small Group User Guide Small Group Mission Team: a new small group to guide and support Trinity's Small Group Ministry, as a mission under our Lifelong Learning Commission, has now formed. If you have questions about Trinity's Small Group Ministry, a list of current members and their e-mail addresses is at the bottom of this page.

  • A small group offers the opportunity to explore and grow in faith as it relates to daily life.

  • A small group is a place to laugh and have fun.
  • A small group is a way to connect more deeply with the body of Christ.
