The office of deacon is set forth in the Scriptures as ordinary and perpetual in the Church. The office is one of sympathy and service, after the example of the Lord Jesus; it expresses also the communion of saints, especially in their helping one another in time of need.
It is the duty of the deacons to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress. It is their duty also to develop the grace of liberality in the members of the church, to devise effective methods of collecting the gifts of the people, and to distribute these gifts among the objects to which they are contributed.
All members and their families are assigned to a deacon that is personally responsible for your material care. If you have a specific need, your deacon is a good place to start. If you don't know who your deacon is, please contact your elder or Logan Putnam (the current head of the diaconate) to find out. You can also raise concerns with your elder or any deacon -- they will be quick to pass on your need to your deacon.
Trinity is grateful for the service of its deacons. In the PCA, deacons are elected to their office and hold it for life. We do, however, encourage our deacons to take sabbaticals routinely to manage their workload and, if necessary, to relinquish their active duties as needed. Unless otherwise noted, the deacons below are currently active and serving in their official capacity. Deacons are listed alphabetically.

If you have general questions for the diaconate, or wish to bring a need from another member to their attention, please reach out to your deacon or Logan Putnam. The deacons meet monthly (dates are noted on the calendar) to discuss business and ensure member needs are met. The diaconate has several subcommittees that handle particular duties, noted below.
