Diocese of C4SO

Trinity Lakeside belongs to the Anglican Diocese of C4SO or Churches for the Sake of Others. C4SO is built on five key values: Kingdom, Spirit, Formation, Mission and Sacrament. Trinity Lakeside shares these values. They inform and shape what we do as a local community of Christ-followers.

Listen to Bishop Todd Hunter and other C4SO leaders unpack our five key values here.

Kingdom: The only grand explanatory system that can carry both the entire purposes of God and the full needs of humanity is Jesus’ Gospel of the Kingdom.

Spirit: God’s purposes in full-orbed discipleship to Jesus require a power that matches his intentions. This is the person and work of the Holy Spirit.

Formation: Spiritual transformation is the Spirit-driven (re)creative work of God, forming our inner self in such a way that it becomes like the inner being of Christ himself. This is meant to train us for life in his kingdom.

Mission: The Church is animated by, incorporated into and constituted by the mission of God. The calling and sending of the Church are central to God’s self-revelation.

Sacrament: Through the sacraments the Church is assured of God’s faithfulness to his promise to act in particular ways. In the liturgy and sacraments, the worshiping Church is invited beyond being a mere spectator of God’s glory to becoming intimately involved in the mystery of a God who “became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14).
