Mrs. Melissa Patton

Mrs. Melissa A. Patton grew to love Trinity's Christian community as a student, earning her MDiv in 2025. With a BA in Sociology from Grove City College and experience as a lay pastoral counselor, care team coordinator, spiritual director, and church administrator, she now serves as Community Life Administrator. Her role allows her to live into her administrative, hospitality, and pastoral giftings through event planning, logistics, and overseeing student counseling and assistance programs.

Mrs. Patton serves as liaison for student-led events, helping students learn practical planning while working with supportive staff. Her administration of the student counceling benefit encourages future church leaders to pursue the care they need to be emotionally, relationally, and spiritually healthy. Through the student assistance fund, she provides financial support and helps students learn that everyone must must ask for help at stome point.

She loves the Kneelers games, Christmas tree decorating contests, and Turkey & Talent. Her hope is that Trinity students are built up in the unity of the Church in the image of Christ, and that the Church flourishes through their leadership. When not serving Trinity, you'll find Mrs. Patton leading musical worship, singing, songwriting, writing devotionals, or hiking.
