Pastor Jason McCloskey - Youth and Outreach Pastor
Pastor Jason McCloskey is an ordained elder in the church of the Nazarene. Going to church has been an important and vital part of his life. He was saved during a revival service at the age of 19, on Easter Sunday 1995 then from 1997-2000 he attended Olivet Nazarene University. After leaving Olivet in 2001, he felt discouraged and unsure about what God wanted him to do. After hearing his pastor preach about sanctification, God began to stir his heart and in December of 2000, God sanctified him. The next few months following that experience God began to light a fire in his heart for ministry. That summer he accepted the call to ministry and shortly after that God blessed him with Jennifer. Together this couple serves as youth and outreach pastors.
Pastor Trent Mounsey - Worship Pastor
Trent grew up in the church and accepted Jesus into his life at the age of 6. He has always had a love for music and began playing piano when he was 7 years old. At age 13, he realized that he was not walking close to Jesus, so he rededicated his life to the Lord. He soon began playing and singing for the church’s worship team and in the youth band. A few years later, he felt God calling him into music ministry. It was a Sunday morning that Trent felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit to hand over all his life to the Lord. It was this very Sunday that the Lord sanctified him. Trent is taking classes through the Church of the Nazarene’s Course of Study to become an ordained elder. Currently, Trent is pursuing his call of music ministry as Worship Leader here at Trinity. Trent is married to Kristen and they have a son, Gavin.
