Pastor Jennifer Rath Scott
Pastor Jennifer is a native San Diegan and mother to two beautiful adult children, Autumn and Juno, who are the light of her life. Working with children, youth, and young adults is her passion! She believes we have all been made in God's image and have an open invitation to receive our Creator's unconditional love and grace. Her goal is to serve as God's hands and feet, finding tangible ways to share this hope-filled message both inside and outside of the church's four walls. Before focusing on ministering people of all ages, Jennifer taught in local private schools, owned a bakery, and ran a successful sewing business. She grew up in San Carlos immersed in music, and loves to spend time jamming with her kids, both of whom are talented musicians. Jennifer has been volunteering and working with the children, youth, and families within the UMC since 2004 and is currently also serving as the South District Youth Coordinator for the Cal-Pac Conference of the United Methodist Church. |

She was introduced to music at an early age as an active member of local choirs and music ensembles before migrating to San Diego for a Piano Performance degree. Luisa turned 21 last year and is grateful and excited for the opportunity Trinity Church has given me to contribute to worship and ministry while still completing her studies.

Carl T. (Tim) Fritts
Office Administrator/CLM (Certified Lay Minister) Tim and his wife, Susan, have been faithful members of Trinity UMC for 38 years! Tim is a retired Master Chief Petty Officer with 30 years of active duty in the Navy. They currently live in Allied Gardens where they love spending time with their amazing kids and spunky granddaughter. One of Tim's greatest gifts is his beautiful voice, which he generously shares with the Trinity community each Sunday. His musical talent has been passed down to his son, Timothy, and together, along with the equally amazing Mario Gonzalez, these three men create a powerful worship experience by leading our Praise Team. Trinity is blessed to have Tim serve as their Certified Lay Minister, leading Bible Studies, assisting in worship with things like congregational prayer, helping with Communion, coordinating Liturgists, and so much more! When Tim isn't working hard in the church, you can find him on the golf course! |
