Our Interim Pastors:
Pastors Linda and Cliff Hanus are serving as Trinity’s Interim co-pastors during this time of transition as we begin the search for our next Senior Pastor. They are contracted by Holy Trinity to share one full-time position. Their charge is to lead Sunday worship services, support lay leadership, and for the most part assume the responsibilities of a regularly called pastor. Pastors’ Hanus have decades of rich experience in leading congregations in many parts of the country. We are so fortunate for their presence and service.
Thanks Be To God!!
