position of Associate Pastor. This vote will set a process in motion to
initiate calling an Associate Pastor. There are many steps in this process
beginning with writing a Mission Study and then a Church Info. Form, as we
evaluate Trinity’s directions for a healthy future and as we describe our church
for qualified candidates. Please refer to Pastor Shelley’s article in the Aug.

Trinity will be staffed for our spiritual & numerical growth. All members &
