Winter/Spring 2022
Dear Friend,
I’m so glad you are considering a Trinity Class. The great preaching
during our Sunday gathering can only scratch the surface on the
bottomless depths of the gospel. Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not
ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for everyone who
believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
This catalog will introduce you to all the different Trinity Classes as
well as other affinity groups where Scripture is explored and
applied and help you choose which one(s) best applies to an area
where you would like to grow. Generally speaking, Trinity Classes
fall into three categories, Gospel Exposure, Gospel Expansion, and
Gospel Expression. They represent areas of your faith journey in
which you can always continue to learn, apply, and grow. These
categories are not mutually exclusive, but different classes will
have special emphasis on one or more of the three. The question
you need to answer is “what area do I most need growth in right
now?” That will help you choose a class.
How to best use this catalog:
• Read through the descriptions of the class categories.
• Pray about which category you need growth in most right now.
• Look for the classes offered in that category, and check
compatibility with your schedule.
• Consider the affinity groups for more ongoing interaction.
• Email the contact person with any questions.
• Register for the class(es) on trinitychurchmn.com/resources/
online-registration.
• Come ready to grow and to help others grow to be more like
Jesus.
Thank you for choosing Trinity Classes.
Sincerely,
Tim Pace

2CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS
Gospel Exposure: There are always more areas of our
lives that need to be exposed to the gospel. This
foundational category poses questions like: Who is
God? Why do I need God? What does God think of me?
How could the gospel possibly apply to…?
Gospel Expansion: This category applies the gospel
understanding to all areas of life. Classes in this
category explore questions like: How does the gospel
influence my work? my marriage? my parenting? etc.
Gospel Expression: It’s a natural response to share the
joy we feel as the gospel changes our lives. Classes in
this category ask the question, “Who am I sharing with
and how?”

3Gospel of Mark
Sundays, Jan. 9 - May 15, 9 AM
Online Only via Zoom
The Gospel of Mark is written simply and is based on
eyewitness accounts of our Lord’s miracles, teachings,
empathy, and emotions. It is a wonderful testimony to
our Lord, and to His amazing life.
This Gospel was written by John Mark, who worked
alongside the Apostle Simon Peter. As they worked,
Mark observed, listened, studied, ministered, and
remembered. At this time family stories were told and
retold by family elders to their youngsters, so that
family stories and traditions were accurately passed down from
generation to generation. Storytelling (and the willingness to
accurately remember) was finely honed, since education -
reading and writing - was unusual among the common people.
The Gospel of Mark was written based on the testimony of
eyewitnesses to the ministry of our Lord Jesus.

4Your Story in His Story
Sundays, Jan. 9 - Feb. 6, 9 AM
Community Center A & B
Grade 6 through Adults
Every person you encounter, every community you
enter, and every culture you engage has a dominant
story with many sub-stories. The dominant story is the
most prominent, compelling, and controlling informant
for how people perceive God, others, and the world.
Some call this a worldview because it is the lens through which
they view the world. One’s worldview shapes how they receive
and process information, engage in relationships, make decisions,
and shape their philosophy and beliefs.
In this five-week workshop you will discover in a fresh way how
your personal story is part of a much larger story, the story of
God. You will work in small groups to identify, write, and tell your
story in such a way that it renews your faith helps fuel your life on
mission for Jesus.
Can a person start anytime?
Yes, but those who start on Jan. 9 will gain the most benefit.
What level of commitment/intensity is involved?
You will be writing and sharing your story. The more “work” you put
in, the more you will get out of this practical, hands-on class.
Is there a book to purchase or class fee?
No

5The Twelve Disciples
Tuesdays, Jan. 18 - Apr. 26, 9:30 - 11:30 AM
Community Center A & B
Studying the twelve disciples can transform our lives
as we see how the Master can take the most fear-filled
and faithless among us and empower us to be
confident witnesses of His grace and forgiveness. We
will see how the Master molds and uses these men
and investigate how that same Master is also molding us today.
Can a person start anytime?
Yes, but those who start on Jan. 18 will gain the most benefit.
What level of commitment/intensity is involved?
Weekly lessons are done in between classes.
Is there a book to purchase or class fee?
The fee, including book, is $12 and can be paid the first day of
class.

6He Speaks to Me
Tuesdays, Feb. 1 - Apr. 26, 9:30—11:30 AM
Community Center A & B
When we approach God humbly and bow down
before Him, we put ourselves in a position to hear from
Him. Are you longing to hear God’s voice, but feeling
disconnected?
God wants to speak directly to each of His beloved children, not
to just a few “spiritual elite.” Priscilla Shirer looks at God’s call to
Samuel and uncovers six characteristics essential for hearing
from God: a simple relationship, a single-minded worship, a
set-apart holiness, a still attentiveness, a sold-out hunger, and a
servant spirit.
Her warmth and honesty, combined with a wealth of practical
help, will inspire you to cultivate these traits in your own life. By
doing so, you will prepare yourself to draw closer to Him and to
hear His voice more clearly.
Can a person start anytime?
Yes, but those who start on Feb. 1 will gain the most benefit.
What level of commitment/intensity is involved?
Uses a workbook with 5 relatively short lessons to be done every
2 weeks. Every other week, we will meet to watch a video
together and discuss the lessons.
Is there a book to purchase or class fee?
The fee, including book, is $17 and can be paid the first day of
class.

7Colossians
Mondays, Mar. 7 - May 2, 9:30 - 11:30 AM
Community Center E
What we think about Jesus matters. Our perception of
Him shapes us—what we say, how we treat others,
even what we think. If we paint Jesus as any less than
who He is as supreme over all creation and savior of
the world, not only does our theology slip, but the
working out of our faith also suffers.
Studying the book of Colossians helps us form a
complete picture of Jesus. What we believe about Him
influences everything from our corporate worship to
our relationships to our attitude toward sin. Now alive
in Christ, we can live a life worthy of God instead of
falling back into the ways of the world.
Can a person start anytime?
Yes, but those who start on Mar. 7 will gain the most benefit.
What level of commitment/intensity is involved?
There is weekly homework, however, we understand that work
does not always get completed. We welcome all to come
regardless of the state of their homework.
Is there a book to purchase or class fee?
No
