Leadership Team:
Reverend Judith Fulp-Eickstaedt, Senior Pastor
It is a joy and a privilege to serve as the Pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church. What drew me to Trinity in 2005 was the strong sense of community, the church’s orientation toward service and mission, and the music that expresses our faith and holds the congregation together as it is shared and passed on to the next generation of those who will “sing a new song to the Lord.” As I became a part of this community I saw how faith formation starts with our youngest children and weaves through the church in Sunday School, Bible studies, Confirmation, Companions in Christ, and more. I saw that people are supported in their life of faith through women’s circles, support groups, mission trips, and participation in the leadership of the church. I am always interested in hearing what God is doing in the lives of others and what God may be leading them to do in the church and in the world. I invite you to drop by and visit me in the office or contact me to set up an appointment so I can get to know you better and answer any questions you may have about Trinity Church, the Presbyterian denomination, or the Christian faith. If you are visiting our website for the first time, I hope you will come visit us for worship. If you do, I know you will hear, “welcome to Trinity!”
Ben Stewart, Director of Spiritual Formation
I have been at Trinity for about 14 years. I started as Youth Director in 2004 and stayed in that position until summer of 2017 when I became the Director of Spiritual Formation. I am tasked with doing stuff, I’ll let you know what that is when I have figured it all out but basically I help organize Adult Education, Children’s Education, I oversee the youth stuff (but we have a great youth director so I don’t do much there) and I’m tasked with starting and supporting small groups. So if there is a class you are interested in or a topic you would like us to cover, I can probably help you. If you are looking for a group to connect with or want to start one, I can probably help you with that as well.
When I’m not at Trinity and even sometimes when I am, I’m looking after my two sons. I’m not a stay at home dad per se but I am still sometimes the only male on the playground in the afternoon. And once the boys are in bed, I’m usually on the couch with my wife binge watching tv shows.
I’m originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland so I don’t have a college affiliation nor do I follow any American sports so we’re going to have to find something else to talk about, maybe a binge worthy tv show. But if you understand and follow Rugby, we’ll get on fine. #SUFTUM
Carol Feather Martin, Music Director
I joined the Trinity staff on July 1, 1990. When I agreed to begin on that date, I had not looked at a calendar, so I drove home from an organ conference in Boston on Saturday to begin working the next day.
To paraphrase a poster I saw many years ago, “Who says music for traditional worship has to be stuffy?” Music for traditional worship at Trinity is quite varied and can range from early music to jazz to recently composed. If it’s quality music, it has a place in worship in a prepared surrounding. Auditions are not required to participate in any music group, only an eagerness to learn and share your collective talents. We nurture participants in a small group ministry. The rehearsal space is filled with laughter and fun on a weekly basis.
When I’m not at Trinity, I’m surrounded by furry companions large and small. Some of my time is spent gardening, reading, working puzzles (jigsaw/crossword/etc.), and creating metal jewelry. I also enjoy biking and cross country skiing and other activities – weather permitting, of course.
I enjoy creating sacred music with people of all ages. Teaching people to sing/ring/play instruments and empowering them to share their talents is a blessing for the entire community.
