Trinity is a member of one of the most influential organizations within the Episcopal Church, the Gathering of Leaders (GOL). The Gathering of Leaders invites the future leaders of the Episcopal Church to gather at one of their conferences throughout the U.S. each year.
GOL’s focus is simple: a passionate commitment to spreading the Christian gospel and a rich vision of the renewal and growth of the Church.
The Gathering of Leaders has a membership of several hundred Episcopal clergy throughout the U.S. who are committed to evangelism. The renewal of the dioceses and congregations of the Episcopal Church will come through:
Developing and supporting transformational leaders who are dedicated to the missionary call of Christ.
Growing the Church in spiritual depth and in numbers.
Effectively serving humankind through the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
MISSION STATEMENT The purpose of the Gathering of Leaders is to assist in the empowerment, support, and development of such leaders.
The Gathering provides a place for leaders to come together without contentiousness and partisanship to share their love of Christ and of the Church, to empower each other through mutual encouragement, to deepen their skills as transformational leaders, to establish networks which will aid their ministries, and to clarify their understanding of God’s emerging vision for the renewed Episcopal Church. CORE VALUES The Gathering of Leaders is committed to the missionary call of Christ, a hope-filled vision for the Episcopal Church, respect for differences, creative and innovative leadership, and spiritual and numerical growth through peer learning.
