+ MINISTRY CONNECTIONS +
We follow Jesus better when we follow him together. That truth is helping guide a summer full of "Getting to Know You" at Trinity, Arcadia. With a new pastor on board, we’re excited to see where Jesus is leading us next!
As we look toward an exciting future, we’re also taking time to connect with the people God has placed around us. Whether you are up for the summer or live here year round, your unique story will be a blessing to our community. Come to one or more of our Ministry Connection gatherings to share your input and see where Jesus may be leading you to engage next.
The Purpose: Deepen your relationship with others who share similar gifts and passions. Share with Pastor Justin some things you have loved about our past ministry and some of your hopes for our future endeavors. Get to know our new pastor a little better.
The Format: Around 12-20 people will gather for 60-90 minutes of fellowship, including about 20 minutes of focused conversation and prayer led by Pastor Justin. We won’t make decisions, but we will provide input, imagine the future, and ask for the Spirit to lead and guide.
The Opportunity: Come and be renewed in your own faith and faith relationships. Share the excitement around what Jesus is doing here in Arcadia and beyond. If you aren’t a year-round resident, bring the best of your experiences in other places to add to the pot, and take our best ideas with you when you go back to a different ministry setting. We expect these gatherings to be places of joyful fellowship and engaging conversation.
The Timeline: We will begin our first wave of gatherings in June (see below) and we expect to add others later in July and August. Everybody’s busy; see if one of these dates works for you!
