New to Trinity

How Can You Get “Plugged In” at Trinity 

At Trinity we value relationships.  God didn’t design us to live on our own. Small groups help us connect with others at a similar stage of life and build long term friendships.

The goal of these groups can be summarized as:

• Socializing

• Studying the Bible

• Supporting each other in tough times

• Serving our church and community

• Seeking the lost.

You can learn more about these groups and how to become involved in them from our Small Groups brochure at the information table outside of the church office or from our web site at www.ludingtonfree.org/small groups

Children are our precious gifts from God and the future of the church. It is our desire to teach them about Christ in relevant ways, to help them build solid Christian friendships, and to guide them as they grow in Christ.

Bringing Christ to our children begins at the infant level with a comfortable nursery that is staffed with caring adults and trained teen helpers. Sunday School for children begins at 9:15 AM.

                 On Wednesday evenings we offer a children's program called Club 345.  This ministry if for children in grades 3rd, 4th and 5th.  Club 345 meets at Franklin Elementary School from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. 

Sr High Youth meet on Sunday evenings at 310 N Emily for Bible study, worship and fun.  The vision of our student ministry program is to develop fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ who are leaders for Him.

Jr High Youth meet on Wednesday evenings at the church from 6:30 - 8:00pm.

Join us as we strive to be more like Christ!

As we grow to become more like Christ it is important for our church to spend time together as an entire church family.  Church body activities are a regular part of our church life.  Activities in the past have included:  A Church Pig Roast, Sand Volleyball Games (on our own courts), Wild Game Dinners, Water-skiing and Boating Parties, a 50’s Car Hop and Marriage Enrichment Seminars.

Are you aware that the church in America is in numerical decline? Dr. Win Arn reports that 80 to 85 percent of the churches in America have either plateaued or are dying. At the same time the percentage of those who do not know Christ in our country has grown from 41% in 1978 to almost 50% in just 20 years. Statistically, the younger portion of our population is in greatest need of Christ. Research indicates that while 80% of 80 year olds have been presented with Christ; only 40% of 40 years olds are aware of the Gospel and only 20% of 20 year olds.

As we have evaluated how to be effective in the new millennium, 4 guiding principles have emerged as the heart of who we feel Christ is calling us to be.

Our Message is Christ

We believe that salvation and truth are to be found in and taught from the Bible. The fundamental problem of every human being is sin and the only solution is found through a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Our belief that the Bible is God’s infallible word and Jesus Christ is the only way to restore our relationship with God is the backbone that supports our church.

Our Methods are Relevant and Relational

Rather than being tied to traditions and rituals, we believe that God has called us to be relevant and relational to our community.  We strive to have our Biblical teaching reach the 21st century rather than leaving it stuck in the 1st century.  We highly value Christ centered relationships through Small Groups and our children/youth ministries.

Our Mission is Changed Lives

The Christian life is one where we are constantly growing and discovering rooms of our heart that we have not given control of to Jesus.  Our vision is to encourage one another toward full Christian maturity. 

Our Goal is Multiplying Believers for Ministry

The genius of a wrench is that it is a tool which provides you with leverage to turn bolts none of us couldn’t on our own. As a body of believers teaming together for the honor of Christ, we can provide leverage to do things together that we never could on our own.  Strategizing and striving to witness for Christ together will provide us with opportunities that non of us would have individually.  We believe that God has called us to use our leverage for Him.
