Leadership
Guiding with humility. Serving with joy.
Our Leadership
At Trinity United Presbyterian Church, our leaders are called to shepherd, support, and serve. From pastors and ministry directors to elders and deacons, our leadership team is united in mission—to help our church grow in faith, live in grace, and serve in love.
Meet Our Pastor
Rev. Dr. Craig Wright
Senior Pastor
Pastor Craig has served as Senior Pastor of Trinity United since 2023, leading with theological depth, warmth, and a heart for people. His vision for the church centers on spiritual vitality, intergenerational connection, and authentic community rooted in grace.
He is passionate about preaching the Gospel, equipping the church for meaningful mission, and walking alongside people in every season of life.
When he’s not pastoring, Pastor Craig enjoys traveling with his wife Marcy, whether it’s a mission trip or a well-earned vacation, reading, sampling new foods, or diving into a good home remodeling project.
