If you haven't watched it yet, please watch this video as Pastor Brian walks us through the future of Trinity Lutheran as we embark on our "Taking New Ground" One Fund Ministry Plan.
In the following weeks, we will share answers to various questions that arise and discuss how this will improve and impact all of our ministries. If you have a questions about the "Taking New Ground" One Fund Ministry Plan, please submit one here.
As a family of Ministries we are intentionally stepping forward together with one ministry plan and one fund to accomplish our ministry goals.
Because...
Everybody
1 Corinthians 12:13
For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.
Together. Every weekend, every person, every gift supports every ministry.
Together. Every weekend, every person, every gift supports every ministry .
Every Weekend
1 Corinthians 12:14-15
For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
We will be undivided, undesignated, undeterred.

Funds Every Ministry
1 Corinthians 12: 17-20
If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.
Because we are One Body, we have
One Fund, and share One Future.
What does this mean for our Ministries?
Our combined pledges will show us how much of our plan we are able to accomplish at Trinity in the next two years. The New Ground ministry plan has three levels with a two-year funding goal of $3.8 Million.
Keep Showing Up
This level funds ALL of our day-to-day, week-to-week transformational ministry.
We need and rely on the rhythms of faith! Every day we seek to engage people through Christ-focused, Word-and-Sacrament worship and faithful, culturally aware teaching, so that those who have been away from church, or have never been part of one, are invited to trust Jesus, grow deeper in their faith, and live as His disciples in everyday life.
God is weaving Trinity together! Expanding and strengthening small groups in all their forms. We have so many new neighbors! We are connecting people to life-changing experiences and opportunities through the ministry of our church, childcare, school, and camp, so that faith in Christ is lived out both inside and outside of our congregation.
2 Year Funding Goal: $1.8 Million
Detailed Notes:
-
All operational costs exceeding tuition and registration fees for camp, school, and childcare are included in this budgeted level and rely on our generosity to operate.
-
This level also ensures that staff receive a fair and livable wage.
What does this mean for me?
-
Pray, stay rooted in Scripture as we seek God’s blessings for our Church.
-
Secondly, we are asking you to be ready in your generosity, pledge your total giving amount for two years, from July 2026-July 2028.
-
Thirdly, we ask you to reach and stretch beyond the familiar limits of your generosity as we extend Christ’s love in our community.
