Holy Week is a meaningful journey as we remember the final days of Jesus’ life, His sacrifice, and His resurrection. Whether you have attended church for years or are visiting for the first time, you are warmly invited to join us for any or all of these services and events.

Holy Trinity’s mission is to “Know Christ and make Him known.” We believe this happens when every member is engaged in worship, Bible study, small groups, and ministry teams. It all starts with worship, and we’re glad you’re planning to join us!
