But at its core, it’s a message of lasting liberation — for all of us.

Growing With God Can Be Uncomfortable

It’s often through discomfort God frees us from the things that keep us from spiritual growth. “We can rely on God to shape, form, and renew us each day,” writes Trinity’s Faith Formation team, “as we transform more and more into the people God created us to be.”

The Power of Indestructible Hope

Christian hope is not an invitation to ignore reality, turn away from suffering, and passively wait for things to get better. Instead, deep trust in God’s goodness gives us the courage to create a better world today — a world in which fear does not have the last say.
