HEARTS ABLAZE VISION STATEMENT

Trinity members will become more spiritually vibrant Christians as evidenced by:

1. A greater confidence in Sharing our Faith
2. A more Faithful use of our gifts & abilities
3. A strengthened relationship with the Lord
4. A dedication to Serve the Lord and His people
5. A compassionate heart for others
6. A lifetime commitment to Spread the love of Christ

Through mission efforts, those outside our faith family would be brought to faith in Jesus Christ, encouraged in their own spiritual journey, and equipped to minister to their families and others.
We will reach at least 100,000 people with the gospel of Jesus Christ by the year 2017 (in conjunction with the LCMS ABLAZE Movement).
