Hamilton Moves to Oro

Fresh from his graduation in May, Rev. Mike Hamilton was ordained as Trinity Oro’s new minister in June. The congregation voted unanimously to call him.

Hamilton, 38, is stepping into the pulpit after former minister Rev. Carey Nieuwhof left the Presbyterian Church to join a conservative U.S.-based church in October 2007. Most members of the 1,000 plus congregation followed, with about 150 remaining.

“The congregation is ready to move forward and has done great work,” he said. “I think it would be naive not to recognize that there’s been some history. But God has done great things in this congregation and we’re relying on Him to lead the way.” For more information: trinitycommunity.org
