The Worship Ministry at Trinity Baptist Church exists to enhance corporate worship as well as resource individuals and families in the area of personal, daily worship in all of life. Anyone interested in serving in one of these volunteer roles is required to fill out a volunteer form and meet with the Worship Pastor.
MINISTRIES
Worship Choir
This group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. in our worship center choir loft. We sing periodically and seasonally and take a month off each summer. This group is open to all church members (or those considering moving toward church membership) age 18 and older. No audition required.
Worship Team
Our worship team is made up of our vocal leadership team, which rotates each week, and our instrumental team, including but not limited to our pianist, drummer, bass guitarist, and worship leader, who plays acoustic guitar on most songs. The Worship Band leads weekly in worship for both services. The Worship Team rehearses every Tuesday at 4:15 p.m. Audition to display capability is required for placement in the Worship Band and/or Vocal Team.
Audio/Visual/Lighting Team
Our AVL team includes our sound mixing team, media projection/lighting crew, and our livestream and camera operators. These individuals possess skills that are gained mostly during training, which is required. The team rotates weekly, and no person serves in one of these roles more than twice a month in order to prioritize worship with family on the other Sundays.
What We Believe About Worship
OUR THEOLOGY: Worship originates in the triune God of the Bible, is for God, and is made possible by God. Psalm 34:3 says, "Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! We believe exaltation of God in corporate worship is not only one of Trinity's three E's, but is also accomplished in three key ways: gravity (we are to fear and tremble before an Almighty God), gladness (we rejoice in God our salvation), and gratitude (we thank and praise God for all He is and all He has done for us in Christ).

OUR PHILOSOPHY: The corporate gathering of believers each week ought to be God-honoring, Scripture-fueled, Christ-centered, Spirit-enabled, and Gospel-driven. (credit: Bob Kauflin)
OUR METHODOLOGY: So, practically, this means that our worship gatherings each week will be a mixture of styles that fit the appropriateness of what text we are singing and will also be music that is accessible to a wide range of ages and abilities. It will also contain old as well as newer hymns and songs, most congregational, some by our worship choir or smaller ensembles/individuals. Some of our people use the hymnal when applicable, raise their hands, or wear shorts. Others don't. Those things are not primary, so long as they are sincere and offered unto the Lord. Overall, we seek to honor God and edify one another in our worship at Trinity!
