Mission, Vision & Confessional Identity

God’s Mission for His Church God is at work, in and through His church, to gather His people, grow them to maturity in Christ, and send them out to love God, neighbor, and one another, all to the glory of His name.

Vision for Trinity Trinity Presbyterian Church seeks to be a faithful local congregation at a global crossroads, proclaiming Christ to Charlottesville and UVA and serving His church throughout the world.

Confessional Identity We believe and practice the historic Christian faith revealed in the Bible, passed down in the ancient creeds, and renewed in the Protestant Reformation. Our life together is shaped by the rich tradition of Presbyterian and Reformed Christianity, as articulated in the Westminster Standards.

Gather We seek to welcome and connect people into the body of Christ, gathering the ungathered and bringing our congregation into deeper fellowship and unity with one another.

Grow We seek to form faith and fruit in God’s people in conformity to Christ’s image, shepherding unbelievers into faith and believers into greater maturity through the ministry of God’s word.

Go We seek to equip and send God’s people to participate in His mission at Trinity, in our community, and around the world, speaking the truth in love and serving in the way of Jesus.

Glorify We seek to worship the Triune God in joyful response to His gospel, offering prayer, praise, and thanksgiving in our worship and with all our lives.
