Get to Know Us
We are a church located in Irondequoit, NY just outside the city of Rochester. We are nestled in the quiet neighborhood known as Winona Woods. Trinity Communion Church is a part of the Anglican Communion. This Communion is a network of churches that grew out of the missionary expansion of the Church of England over the past 500 years. It now consists of 38 self-governing provinces around the world, in 164 countries, with tens of millions of members. In many places, particularly throughout the Global South, the churches of the Anglican Communion are known for their vibrant faith in God and transformational presence within their communities. We are connected to the Anglican Communion through our affiliation with the Diocese of Christ our Hope, within the Anglican Church in North America.
Our Mission:
"To live and love like Jesus, and lead others to do the same."
Our Mission
Why We Exist
We seek to live and love like Jesus and lead others to do the same. It is that simple and it is life-changing! TCC is a place to belong, a place to shape belief, and a place to become.
Our Vision
What We Do and Where We Are Going
We are a Jesus centered, missional church. We cultivate community across cultures. We welcome everyone; whether you are skeptical about religion, curious about church, or already a Christian. We intentionally provide opportunities to engage in a journey to grow and follow in the way of Jesus.
Our Values
Who We Are and Who We Want To Be
Four Key Values
​
Clarity – Our strategy (Discipleship Path) for growing in Christ is clearly communicated. It is discussed, taught, and illustrated. We work hard so that everyone can grasp it, articulate it and own it.
​
Movement – Guide individuals toward the next step of growth and maturation in Christ. We invite people to move towards greater areas of commitment to God as articulated in our Discipleship Path.
​
Alignment – All ministries are arranged and planned around our mission, vision, values, and strategy (Discipleship Path). The entire church is moving in one direction, in the same manner.
​
Focus – We commit to choosing activities and programs that fit within our ministry strategy (Discipleship Path). We ask difficult questions before something is implemented –will this fit what we do? Is it profitable or is it clutter? Focus is the value that gives power and energy to clarity, movement and alignment.
Our Strategy
How We Live Into The Mission and Vision
Discipleship is a lifelong journey. It’s an invitation from God. It’s not something that we can achieve overnight. It takes patience, time, effort, and commitment. It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress. Discipleship is open to everyone. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from. If you are willing to follow Jesus, then you are welcome to join the journey.
​
As we grow and mature in our journey with Jesus, we develop habits and rhythms that lead to deeper connection and relationship with God. Active and intentional discipleship helps us fulfill our mission to live and love like Jesus, and lead others to do the same. The habits on our discipleship path guide our faith formation. We’ve identified five of them. Engage. Grow. Give. Serve. Lead.
