Growing. Serving. Joining.

This new virtual study led by the pastors will multiply the impact of the Sunday morning service. Ready yourself for Sunday worship by deepening your understanding of the coming sermon text. Each Wednesday will offer a brief review of the previous week’s sermon focus, and then the pastors will take a close look at the following weekend’s sermon text, providing context and a more detailed examination of the scriptures than is possible during a sermon. Participants are welcome to log on just to listen or can ask questions and join the discussion.

Join via Zoom from home or take advantage of your lunchbreak to listen from work, and let the word of Christ dwell in you richly all week long. Wednesdays at noon.

Email Pastor Lehenbauer for a direct link at clehenbauer@trinityfreistadt.com.

Trinity Community News

Members of Trinity,

As the search for a new Senior Pastor continues, the Board of Lay Leaders (BLL) is in the process of creating the new position of Executive Director to oversee many of the administrative tasks of our church and school. Dr. Sam Seefeld who was serving as Principal has accepted the position of Director of Mission Advancement. The BLL is in the process of combining this position with the new Executive Director position. Because of the immediate need of a leader in the administration of the church and school, Dr. Seefeld will be filling both roles.

This has necessitated the need to fill the office of Principal with an interim position.Dr.Cassie Tarr accepted the position of interim principal. In keeping with Trinity’s constitution and bylaws the BLL created a Principal Call Committee to determine a permanent outcome for this position. The BLL is currently seeking three(3) congregation members to serve on this committee. If interested please email Todd Tischer at mariadoris@aol.com.

Concurrently the Senior Pastor Call Committee is also seeking one (1) individual to serve on this committee. If interested email Todd Tischer at mariadoris@aol.com.

Thank you, Todd Tischer, Chair of both committees

Pastor Reh was featured in the latest SWD Mission & Mercy Moments Newsletter (September 2024). He serves as our associate/mission/youth pastor focusing on introducing Jesus to nonbelievers, nurturing the faith of new believers in the Karenni community, and engaging young people. Despite challenges like language barriers and competition from other denominations, Pastor Reh sees tremendous opportunities for ministry, including new families joining the community, reconnecting with young people, engaging with an independent Karenni church, and leveraging social media to share the Gospel globally. Check out the full interview here.
