To Welcome: To receive gladly into one's presence or companionship;
To Include: To embrace as part of the whole.

The welcoming and inclusion of all people at Trinity is an important element in Trinity's mission statement, an essential part of our church community's identity, and is viewed as an 'all-parish ministry,' to which we all contribute. Although perhaps not officially part of the Welcoming and Inclusion Team, many parishioners intentionally welcome newcomers and visitors to Trinity in their own unique ways.

However, there is an enthusiastic and dedicated group of volunteers who serve as Greeters, Trinity Host Table and Parish Resource Table volunteers, and who serve the community at newcomer events throughout the year, who form the Welcoming and Inclusion Team. The commitment and goal of these parishioners is to make the hospitality of the parish real in the lives of everyone who comes through our doors.
