Mutual Care Groups
Jesus had a wonderful ability to meet people where they were at and to care for them with love which brought healing and wholeness to the broken places of their lives. Jesus calls us to do the same for one another.
If you are feeling in need of care or support, please read through this list of care groups we have at Trinity. If you don't see a group listed here, and would like to start one, please contact Kris Linner at klinner@trinitylc.org or Julie Jolivette at jjolivette@trinitylc.org
