Your Call Committee has set up three town-hall-style meetings during Pastor Jacob May’s visit, in order to give the congregation several opportunities to meet Pastor May, learn a bit more about him, and ask questions in a casual atmosphere. Please join us at one of the following meetings that will take place in the Sanctuary.

Tuesday, June 21:  12:00 – 1:00 pm

Tuesday, June 21:  6:30 – 7:30 pm

Wednesday, June 22:  12:00 – 1:00 pm

When Trinity was completing our Self-Study at the beginning of this call process, there were several key attributes that the congregation identified as critical traits for our new Senior Pastor. The top four were:

  1. Leadership
  2. Spiritual
  3. People skills/connection
  4. Preaching/teaching

Keep these in mind when thinking about any questions or discussion points you may have for Pastor May during his visit. Participation from you in this very important process is encouraged and is crucial to selecting the best Senior Pastor for Trinity. Feel free to contact Stephanie Landis via email at stephanie.landis@psiusa.com or the church office with any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you at a town hall meeting!
