Our Purpose
The Trinity Women’s Ministry aims to connect women with other women, working to build one another up in Christ and to build positive, strong, and healthy relationships with God and with others (Proverbs 31).
Our goal is that women will be able to speak with wisdom, trust in the Lord, be hardworking, teach the Gospel, and care for others (Proverbs 31:26-29).
