Trinity functions under the presbyterian form of church government. The congregation nominates and elects elders and deacons to serve as the officers of the church. Both elders and deacons serve on various committees and ministry teams with congregational members and staff of the church.

Elders

The body responsible for the church's governance and spiritual oversight is known as the Session. It consists of the ruling elders and pastors who have been called by the congregation.

The Session has two officers: the moderator, who is one of the teaching elders, and the clerk, a ruling elder. The Session also has standing committees. In addition, ruling elders are members of leadership and ministry teams and churchwide committees and serve as liaisons with the Session.

The Session meets on the second Thursday of every month at 7pm and is open to all Trinity members. For more information on how to attend these meetings, email session@trinitycville.org.

DEACONS

Deacons are responsible for seeing that the physical needs of the congregation are met, for managing the church's resources, and for cultivating a heart of compassion and a spirit of benevolence within the church body.

The deacons select one of their members as their administrative chair. Each deacon participates in the work of one of several subcommittees of the Diaconate. Deacons serve the entire congregation, with special attention to the members of their own parishes.
