Resources

Theology is the use of sources from our faith tradition (e.g. the Bible, other theologians, liturgy, church proclamations, etc.) to address contemporary problems. Members of Trinity reflect on a number of topics relevant to our lives and community. These resources are offered for your own consideration. We believe that each person is a theologian, and we do not require anyone to accept any particular premise or belief. We do believe that theological reflection is most fruitful when done within a worshiping faith community. We offer all our faith formation resources to help you form your own beliefs.

Resources from Past Faith Formation Programs

Bible Study: Book of Revelation

While the Book of Revelation has been misunderstood and misused for centuries, it is actually written for Christians trying to live as Christians under the evils of the Roman empire. It truly can help us today. Each class in this 13-week bible studies series, led by Reverend Matt, offered a short overview to key topics and then time for reading and group discussion. For the class syllabus, click here. To access the course materials, including the texts, notes, and presentation slides, click here and navigate through the weeks.
