Abstract
This thesis provides a rationale for connecting the Trinity more deliberately with identity, worship and mission in the church, and a description and evaluation of a project in a particular congregation to accomplish this purpose. A small Wesleyan congregation in Ontario was taken on a journey from tacit to intentional Trinitarianism by emphasizing the Trinity in sermons, sacraments, study, worship, and mission. Resources included Natural Church Development's Three Colors of Ministry and Color Your World, Trinitarian liturgical material, and a self-developed small group curriculum. The assessments indicated growth in Trinitarian identity and intentional Trinitarian praxis, both in the project facilitator and members of the congregation.
