* Plant New Churches
* We want to plant a new church in Greater Manchester to help reach new people with the gospel. We also want to partner with 2 others church plants, helping to resource 1 in the UK and 1 in continental Europe.
Role Summary
Worshipping God is the primary purpose of His people (Ephesians 1:3-14, 1 Peter 2:9). We worship God in a wide variety of ways, including personal holiness, sharing the gospel with those who don’t know Christ, trusting Him over the idols of our hearts, and through various expressions of praise.
Our Worship Team exists to help Trinity Church worship when we gather together. We want to use the creative gifts God has given the members of our church to help us worship God corporately in ways that are theologically rich, culturally relevant and centred on the good news of Jesus.
