Trinity’s Strength in Service Summit exists to strengthen the people who strengthen our communities. This two-day Summit is built specifically for first responders and veterans—men and women who shoulder the weight of service every day. It gives them space to connect with others who understand their world, strengthen resilience through meaningful insight, and find renewed inspiration that supports them at work, at home, and in their communities.
Rooted in Trinity’s mission to transform struggles into strengths through connection, the Summit brings our region together to invest in those who protect and serve. It is not simply an event; it is a focused, intentional commitment to the wellbeing of the people who stand on the front lines for all of us.
When first responders and veterans are equipped and supported, entire communities grow stronger and more stable. Their wellbeing shapes the safety and future of our region—and the Summit helps make that strength possible. Join us. Stand with those who serve. Be part of what strengthens our community. Register today for the Strength in Service Summit.

Why this Summit Matters
Gear Up for Real Life
Practical strategies for the stuff they don’t put on the job description—stress, trauma, and the weight that lingers long after the shift or tour ends.
Find Your People Again
This isn’t about small talk. It’s about finding others who get it—who’ve been through it, and aren’t afraid to stand beside you for what’s next.
Strength for Every Battle
Not every fight leaves a scar you can see. Build strength that holds—mind, body, heart, and soul.
Tools That Actually Work
No fluff. No empty slogans. Just proven strategies and shared experiences from those who’ve walked the road and made it through.
