Pastor David's profile picture.

David Richmon

  • I became a Christian in high school through a local church youth group.

    In 2009 I joined Trinity (then known as Green Lake Presbyterian) as Assistant Pastor, working with staff and fellow leaders to develop the church's ministry and mission. After some time, I became the Senior Pastor and oversaw our move to Ballard. God continues to bless us richly with an amazing community, a wonderful staff, and a growing mission.

  • I became a Christian as a young child, but my faith was renewed, enlivened, and made more my own as a young adult through the ministry of Reformed University Fellowship.

    In 2010 I arrived at Trinity for a summer internship. My husband grew up attending Trinity with his family, and when we got married in 2014, we made it our church home.

    I really enjoy the active life of our church and witnessing the ways that people are deepening their knowledge and love of the Lord through study of his word, weekly corporate worship, and walking in community with one another.

  • Raised by strong Christian parents, I came to know Christ at a young age and was baptized at 14. After college, I attended Trinity for 9 months and fell in love with the community before heading off for seminary.

    After seminary and serving a church in Baltimore for 3 years, I’m thankful to have come full circle back to Trinity! I love talking with people about their spiritual outlook and spending time enjoying Seattle’s food and outdoor scenes.

  • I was raised in a strong Christian home, and have known from my earliest memories that I belonged to the Lord and that he belonged to me.

    After graduating from Covenant College, I came to Trinity (then Green Lake Presbyterian) in 1978 as Christian Ed Director until 1985, when I left the role to begin a ministry of creating and publishing Vacation Bible School curricula. In 2020, after handing the VBS ministry over to our denomination, I returned to my role at TCS as Children's Ministry Director.

    I love equipping and supporting the church body in raising up our children to "glorify and enjoy" God with all their hearts, and to know and love his Word.

Luke Morton

  • While raised in a strong Christian home and never recalling a time I didn't believe the gospel, I was convicted of a deep need for Christ in my early teens.

    Our family joined Trinity in 2014 when I was hired as Pastor of Worship, where I’ve been leading and working alongside God's people every week to sing and be shaped by the gospel.

  • I grew up in a family that loved God and shared the gospel with me at a young age. I accepted Christ as my personal Savior as a child and grew up attending a supportive, gospel centered, nurturing church. When I was in high school I attended a christian concert and there dedicated my life to God in a deep and personal way.

    My husband and I moved to Seattle in 2019 to be near 2 of our three children. Trinity was the first church we visited and we never went anywhere else! We have loved being part of the vibrant, warm, God-fearing congregation! It has been a place of growth and connection and support for us and we love the community.

    I feel so privileged to walk alongside women in their faith journey and am excited to be part of encouraging and building up women that we may glorify God and follow Him together.

  • Though my mother raised me to know the Lord and in the church, my faith grew much deeper roots in college through a campus ministry. In those years, God's grace began to provide a much firmer foundation than my fickle functional gods - my image or performance in my sport.

    Our family came to Trinity in 2016 shortly after moving to Seattle for my wife's medical job and my campus ministry work at UW. We love the beauty and diversity of the city and enjoy playing/watching sports, camping, and connecting with our neighbors.

    I love helping students & families see how the gospel impacts every area of their lives and equipping them to love and serve those around them. I also love conversations with those who have lots of questions or don't yet believe.
