Teaching Series Overview

We all have areas in our lives that need change, but we have been unable to do what is necessary to make that change. This is why Trinity Church is going to explore the roots of the twelve-step program and how its ancient wisdom can help each of us make the changes that allude us. We invite you to join us each Sunday morning for the first few months of 2025 as we explore these ancient truths and how they can transform our lives. Everyone is welcome.
