A Message from the Principal

What a wonderful Homecoming week we had at Trinity! Thank you to all of our parents, families and friends who came out to support. It was a joy to move the event back to our campus this year.  It was amazing to see all of us come together as a community in an incredible way. Most importantly, we will always honor God in all that we do and we are grateful for a school family that comes together not only to celebrate, but also to worship Him.

Looking ahead, we have several exciting opportunities to connect and grow together:

  • Senior Parent Night

  • Coffee with the Principal and Staff

  • GO Week Night

Each of these gatherings offers a chance to learn more, engage with our mission and strengthen our partnership as we continue moving forward together. For details on these events and much more, please be sure to read through the announcements below.

SENIORS CLASS GROUP PICTURE

On Wednesday, October 22, after Chapel, seniors will take their class picture in the stadium seating. Please come dressed in your senior t-shirt and be ready for the photo!

This week In Chapel

This week, Executive Pastor Jason Moore preached from Romans 13:8–13, reminding us that love is the fulfillment of the law. The gospel makes this possible by transforming us into the image of Christ. Because God loves us, we are called to love others. Because God is holy, we pursue holiness, setting aside the works of darkness and walking in the light. And because of Jesus and His gospel, we can live with true comfort and lasting hope.

🌍Go Week 2026 – Website has launched!
