Mission Statement
“To know Christ and make Christ known.”


Our Vision
Growing on purpose, reaching out to all generations in creative and relevant ministry, advancing our mission through the arts, nurturing spiritual growth, gathering in groups, uplifting human dignity, encouraging effective ministry, resourcing the church, and impacting the community.

Growing On Purpose
Being true to our purpose will make us known as a church for the unchurched – a place to make lasting friends; where all are welcome and invited to hear how much they matter to God in the context of loving and accepting community. With confidence, we will pursue our laser-like focus “making followers of Jesus and leaders for Him.”

Being true to our purpose will cause us to grow spiritually, grow our dreams, grow our vision, grow our facilities, grow our ministries, and grow our impact by starting new churches and assisting churches here and around the world.

Every member will have a significant and meaningful ministry, and will model true servant leadership.

Reaching Out To All Generations
With passionate zeal, we will effectively communicate a relevant, informed, biblical message to every unique generation.

We will speak the language of the people; we will give ourselves to reading the culture, listening to its needs and relating to its struggles; we will be innovative and will leverage technology for effective communication. Whatever it takes ... we will reach each generation.

We will be a church that embraces all people without bias or prejudice. Recognizing the uniqueness of each generation, we will champion the cause of meeting the spiritual, physical, and emotional needs of all persons in creative and relevant ministry.

Advancing Our Mission through the Arts
Jesus Christ will be worshipped at Trietsch through a broad expression of the arts. Hearts will be touched, emotions stirred, minds opened, and lives forever changed through the excellent and compelling presentation of the arts.

The irrefutable impact and beauty of the arts employed for God’s glory at Trietsch will lift us out of mediocrity and into a passionate pursuit of effective ministry and dynamic communication.

We will reclaim the arts for God’s glory, and artists will be affirmed, valued, and released for ministry within the Church.

Nurturing Spiritual Growth
Through vibrant Bible study, worship, and prayer – we will create a contagious environment for learning, growing, and becoming more like Christ.

We will see an ever-growing percentage of Christ-followers regularly gathering for vibrant worship and practical Bible studies.

We will be a praying church – both personally and corporately. Prayer will be foundational for every service and ministry across the church. The thread of prayer will be woven through the fabric of our church.

Identifying and clearly communicating a “track” toward maturity and Christ-likeness, we will systematically offer curriculum, conferences, seminars, and studies that will enable and encourage each individual in their quest for spiritual growth.

We will mentor men, women, and students to be leaders in the church, in their jobs, and in the community.

Gathering in Groups

Our family will grow until every unconnected person is a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ and is connected in authentic relationships.

We will be a church of small groups. Our programs and ministry opportunities will help people take their next step of life transformation facilitated through small group relationships. Our small group leaders and coaches will receive top-notch training, support, and encouragement.

We will passionately and intentionally help people discover and use their God-given spiritual gifts and abilities in ministry where they can be faithful, fruitful, and fulfilled. We will offer the best biblical training and support available.

We will be the primary means of grace to the hurting; not only will we leverage our resources to keep people out of the “ditch,” we will offer grace and assistance to those who have fallen.

Encouraging Effective Ministry
We will design and continually improve our infrastructure to facilitate ministry and celebrate innovation, passion, and excellence in every expression of our passionate devotion to Jesus Christ.

While valuing the plurality of leadership in processing key decisions, our systems will not be encumbered by bureaucracy that inhibits ministry or innovations; rather, the very structure will encourage entrepreneurial thinking and planning within the boundaries of our mission, vision, and core values.

Our programs, services and facilities will communicate the importance of “connecting.” Our campus will be beautiful and will reflect our core values. It will be designed, built, and maintained to help people know Christ and make Christ known.

Resourcing the Church
We will enthusiastically give our resources, experience and giftedness to train and encourage those intent on building effective, vital churches.

Trietsch will be a leader in our community and will make an indisputable impact on our region. We will be a beacon for unity in the Church.

We will offer opportunities for our people to make an impact around the world.

We will help build prevailing churches to impact the world for Christ.

We will teach what we have learned and offer resources to other congregations.

Uplifting Human Dignity
We believe that each person is treasured by God and was created in God's image.

We will be sensitive to issues—subtle and overt—in which persons or groups are demeaned in any way.

We will be a voice for tolerance.

We will be a people who stand against hate, violence, and bigotry.

We will do all we can to oppose the forces of evil, in whatever forms they may take.

We will develop ministries for those persons with “special needs”.

We will constantly inventory our own attitudes and actions in light of loving all of God’s children.

Impacting the Community
We believe the church should impact the community through specific and concrete acts of Christian caring, daring, and sharing.

We encourage individual members of Trietsch to have an influence in the workings of the local communities to which we relate.

We will take leadership steps to provide for the Flower Mound community a high-quality, values-based religious private school, grades kindergarten through high school.

We will make our facilities, as far as feasible, available to assist the community in providing community-impacting programs, events, and activities.
