Trinity Church Everton
Chairman’s Report – Simon Gilliland
September 2023- August 2024
Trinity Church Everton launched in 2013 with a clear vision to share the good news of Jesus Christ with our local community, and help grow people in their faith, knowledge and love of him. Over the past year, we have continued to pursue this vision, and are grateful to God for the many opportunities we’ve had to serve, witness, and grow together as a church family.
A particular encouragement this year was our focus on evangelism during our Sunday meetings. We spent a month in a teaching series we titled Learning Evangelism from Jesus, looking closely at how Jesus shared the gospel with different individuals and groups. This time helped us reflect on our own approach to sharing the good news and spurred many helpful conversations and prayers in the church family about our role in making Christ known in Everton and beyond.
In addition to our Sunday gatherings, it has been great to see growth and development in some of our midweek ministries. Our Restored group, a craft group for women who have experienced trauma, continues to provide a safe and welcoming space for women to connect, express creativity, and most importantly, discover more of God’s healing grace.
Likewise, our Crossroads group for individuals seeking freedom from addiction continues to be a place of hope and transformation. This group not only offers support but points people toward lasting change through the power of Jesus Christ. Please continue to pray for those involved in both these ministries, that the seeds of faith planted would grow and flourish.
One highlight of the year was our church weekend away, which provided a much-needed opportunity to deepen our fellowship and refresh our spiritual focus. It was a real privilege to partner with Gunnersbury Baptist Church for the weekend. We were greatly blessed by the preaching of Tim, their Pastor, and the practical support of the Gunnersbury team who led our children’s work with great care and enthusiasm.
As of the end of August 2024, our membership stands at 36 people. We give thanks for each member and the unique contribution they make to the life and mission of our church.
As we look ahead to the coming year, we do so with a renewed commitment to our vision and gratitude to God for how he has blessed us over the past year, longing to see more people in Everton come to know Jesus, and more believers built up in him.
Thank you for your ongoing prayers and partnership in the gospel.
