Our congregation includes people from diverse backgrounds, denominations and faith traditions. We warmly welcome all to our common life of worship and service. This site is not meant to draw active participants from other church denominations or religious groups. It is simply offering those who do not have any affiliation an invitation to join an exciting and dynamic Christian community. At the heart of our activities is the worshipping congregation celebrating the inclusive love of God, made known through Jesus Christ. That love makes a difference in our lives and challenges us to make a difference in the world. Through prayer and music, friendship and service, laughing and learning, we seek to know God is in our midst and make God known to others.
Supporting families has always been a focus of ministry at Holy Trinity. Our worship service each Sunday starts at 10:30.
The congregation offers many programs to address the needs and interests of its participants. As well, a number of community-based groups are hosted in the church facility. Activities include a number of musical choirs and groups, a Bible Study group, women's groups, support groups and social gatherings. New participants are always welcome.
In a time when busy lives often leave people feeling stressed and overwhelmed, the faith community is a haven where people are encouraged to meet God.

I have recently met a young man of 19 or so. He is dating the sixteen year old daughter of some acquaintances of mine. He also boards with them, and it is agreed the daughter will move in with h im when she is seventeen and finishes high school. He is extremely devout in ways I find strange. At first, I wrote it off as extreme fundamentalism.
I have been watching the God in America series on PBS.
It is absolutely jaw dropping and it makes me weep sometimes.
I am really questioning society's understanding and application of the concept of freedom and liberty.
As Christians ....what do these words mean to you?
For those of other faiths and those of no faith at all (please take the word faith in its intended context) ....may we have your opinions please?
This forum is a great place to discover and examine each other's understandings.
Just out of curiousity, what should a person do if they go to a specific denomination (such as the United Church) and then realize that they no longer fit in, in the church? As a Christian, I have tried my best to listen to and heed the call of God in my life... for a number of years, it has felt like God is calling me to a different denomination altogether, as I don't feel I belong at the United Church. My theological and spiritual views are likely too "right-wing" for the people in my congregation, and I no longer find the worship to be spiritually enriching for me.
