A Long-Range Planning Committee in 1991 correctly stated that, at that time, much could be done through program development to expand the attendance at Trinity without a building addition. That has been accomplished. The challenge now lies in moving into a new phase of growth and ministry. The development of new styles of worship, the success of the Trinity Treasures Afterschool program, the booming youth ministry, and the need for recreational space all point in the direction of such a multi-purpose addition. Such a building would necessitate the development expanded parking as well.
Trinity can be faithful in ministry only through expanded community involvement.
In addition, an increased emphasis on hands-on mission within Hutchinson is called for. The building renovation at New Beginnings Homeless Shelter and new projects undertaken by Interfaith Housing are two examples of such possibilities. The development of a Parish Nurse program at Trinity is envisioned. Such a ministry would provide non-invasive care and support. Improvements in the Sunday School classrooms are much needed.
