"I was raised in a theologically moderate Lutheran church, and while I am thankful for the foundation it gave me in exposing me to basic historic Christian faith and creeds, I was left with a longing to know God and His word more deeply.  Over the past two decades, He has blessed me greatly through the ministries of The Navigators and several strong, bible believing evangelical churches, which gave me the opportunity to grow in the faith that I had been desiring.  My family and I have attended Trinity since 2008.  I enjoy working with the worship ministry where I play bass, guitar, and run sound.  I also enjoy being near the front of the buffet line at Trinity's monthly tradition of a shared after-service meal.  I am a big fan of sports (Go Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, and Penn State!), playing the guitar, and stewarding our Lord's creation by helping to control the population of legally edible mammals.  It is my sincerest hope that Trinity will continue to be a congregation of people who love God with all their hearts and minds, love each other, and that together we will continue to worship and adore Jesus Christ, plumb the depths of understanding His word and be a people who passionately recount His story from the beginning of creation, to Christ's ministry, death, and resurrection, and to the glorious hope we have for eternity."

My first blessing in a life full of them was being born into a family that both loves and fears the Lord.  I am continually grateful that God walks with me everyday through His words, His creation, and His people.  In terms of Trinity Community Church, the Dolwick family has been here for over 10 years.  Over the past 5 years, my wife Kristy and I have partnered with several others in the congregation to lead our middle and high school youth ministry.  (We have an awesome set of young people in our church.)  Away from church, I'm a bit of a baseball fanatic and still enjoying playing as much softball as I can.  My hope for Trinity Community Church is that we will continue to be people of the Way, the Truth, the Life … servants joyously bringing God’s love to others as we are walking our everyday lives.
