We hope you will want to "belong" at Trinity. If you are worshipping with us regularly then, if you agree, we will include you in our database of people who are associated with the church as an "adherent".
We would encourage you to consider taking the further step of becoming a "member" of Trinity. You can do so by confirmation if you have not previously been confirmed, or by being accepted on transfer from another church.
Becoming a church member is usually marked publicly during a service of worship.
Church membership involves both privileges and obligations. As church members we commit to worship in the local church and through private prayer, to seek to develop our understanding of God and our faith, to play an active part in the life of the church, to be a good neighbour in the community, challenging injustice and to use our resources to support the Church in its mission in the world.
As church members we gain the privilege of being able to vote in church meetings and to hold various offices in the church.
As members of Trinity we are members of both the Methodist and United Reformed churches, and our membership is recognised by other churches.
If you are interested in becoming a church member, please talk with the Minister.
Trinity Directory
People in the database, whether “Church Members” or “Adherents”, are invited to consent to their name and selected contact details being included in the Trinity Directory. This directory is made available via the web site members’ section of the Trinity web site - see below. We hope you will give your consent as this helps people in the Trinity community to communicate with each other, but we understand that not everyone will wish to do so. The database itself is kept confidential.
If you want to change your consents for inclusion in the Trinity Directory simply email info@trinitychurchsutton.org, or talk with any of the Pastoral Committee.
Web site members
Membership of the web site is not the same as membership of the church. Membership of the web site is available to anyone who is included, or about to be included, in our Trinity Directory and to other individuals such as clergy in Churches Uniting in Central Sutton.
Web site members can access the “web site members’ pages” of the church web site. These include the Trinity Directory, a photographic directory, information about Church Meetings, information about church rotas, and access to make hall bookings for internal events.
Access to the web site members’ pages requires a username and password.
If you wish to become a web site member you can request this online on the web site membership web page - select “sign up”, and later select “log in” when you have created your username and password.
Trinity Weekly Email Newsletter
The weekly email newsletter is available to anyone who wishes to receive it.
You can subscribe to the newsletter at this web page, and you can unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of each newsletter email.
Questions
If you have any questions please ask any Deacon or Pastoral Committee member or email info@trinitychurchsutton.org.
