Trinity does not publish a separate elder/council roster or individual staff headshots beyond Pastor Hoppe's family photo on its current website, so we have not invented monogram photos or bios for anyone above — if that changes, we can add real photos as soon as they're available.

A note for our leadership page: we would love to add a short introduction for each ministry leader here — in their own words. If that is something you would like to add, see the note in our email to you about building out a fuller “Meet Our Leadership” section.

He would love to hear from you — about faith, about Trinity, or about visiting for the first time.
