I have a background in finance, hospitality, property management and customer service. I strive for greatness, remember to take the time to really listen and honestly care about helping other people.

The beautiful and lush gardens here at Trinity which annually welcome 900+ school children are a favorite spot of mine on the church campus as well as the walking trail. I enjoy spending time with my young daughter when not at work.

In the past months since Ahmaud Arbery’s killing

In the past months since Ahmaud Arbery’s killing—since Trayvon Martin, the Aurora⠀
shootings, the shootings at Pulse nightclub, Emmanuel in Charleston, the death of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, the shooting at Sandy Hook, of Breonna Taylor and even the recent death of Cannon Hinnant—and the list goes on, the question whether justice is served in our nation equitably has forced the church to really look at its statements and commitments to overcoming the biases that produce the works of racism. We have been presented an opportunity. It is a time to challenge those biases all of us learn and absorb, and work towards understanding our biases, and whether indeed⠀
they are founded… or be laid to rest.⠀
⠀
Since Jane Elliot’s blue eyes and brown eyes experiment, and the follow up over time,⠀
which documented its impact on the students involved, Americans have become more familiar with racial bias. Over the past two decades, Harvard and Yale studies have come about testing for “racial preference” and uncovering “implicit bias.” Combine this with studies on group-think, the Lucifer effect (Stanford Prison experiment), the tragedy of the commons, and even performance tests regarding the effects of racial bias and its effect as self-fulfilling prophecy, you get a whole lot of data revealing that racial bias is not located to particular persons, but a common experience, which affects our individual psyches and our life together.⠀

On Jan. 15, 1963, Trinity embarked on a challengin

On Jan. 15, 1963, Trinity embarked on a challenging, sometimes frustrating, adventure. Seven and one-half years of planning eventually lead to the building of a new sanctuary, chapel, and educational building at the corner of La Cumbre and Foothill. We celebrated our first service there fifty years ago on September 20, 1970.⠀
⠀
At the Jan. 1963 annual meeting, the Planning and Advisory Committee reported that the congregation was expanding and that the church on Bath Street, that had been Trinity’s home since 1923, did not have sufficient room for expansion.⠀
⠀
The difficulty and delay in selling the Bath Street Church, combined with the rapid increase in construction costs, rendered these initial cost estimates substantially unrealistic. Eventually, the plans for the administration building and the fellowship hall were deferred. The administration building/fireside room was eventually added in 1976; and the fellowship hall in 1990.⠀
⠀
Jerome Griffith was the steadfast chairman of the building committee, which was in⠀
existence for seven years. The other members were Reuben Trystad, Philip Hoefer, John Rydell, Theodore Togstad, Robert Phillips, Gordon Tweet, William Finnigsmier, Clarence Thompson and Pastor T.G. Torvik. ⠀
⠀
1969 was a critical year in the process. In July, the bids for the new church came in 35%above the estimates. Shortly thereafter, the pending sale of the Bath Street church fell through. Even after deciding to defer the construction of the administration building and the fellowship hall, Trinity was $30,000 short of the funds needed to start construction. Cal Hansen stepped into the breach and donated an additional $30,000 so that construction could start. The chapel was eventually named in his honor for making this critical donation.⠀
