On February 8, 2010 we took the final step in a long process to join the Anglican Mission when TJ Johnston, our new bishop (overseer), joined us at a members meeting. Our journey toward Anglicanism has been in process for quite some time. Even in the early days of the church, we adopted methods of bible reading and church structure from the Anglican tradition. Additionally, our church has been blessed from our observance of the church calendar which includes Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter. The sense of rhythm and sustainability introduced by the church calendar have proved to be very useful for our church community.

One of the things we love most about the Anglican Mission in particular is its emphasis on three distinct streams of Christian living. The Anglican Mission affirms the value of the evangelical, traditional and charismatic streams of Christianity. We believe that God has called us to embody these three streams at Trinity and so see a significant point of convergence there.

Also, we know that our church leadership team needs to be cared for and nurtured as we seek to do the very same for our church community. The leadership structure in the Anglican Mission provides this care and support for us as leaders.

We take great comfort in knowing God has truly called Trinity to be part of the Anglican Mission. We have no doubt that God has been leading us down this path.
