John Haynes - Lead Elder

John and his wife Beth live with their dog Lily on their family dairy farm. However, now that they’re no longer in full-time farming, they have time to go camping, work in their garden and enjoy time with family and friends. John likes making (and eating!) homemade ice cream, hosting pancake dinners during maple sugaring season and helping others with whatever things need his wisdom and expertise. He also enjoys a number of games, particularly when Beth lets him win!

David cannistraci - Elder

David is an Italian barber, who used to be a glassblower. He is also a percussionist in the worship band. The guy has artistic talent coming out his ears (you can see it, there's no hair to obstruct your view). He and his wife, Heather, have 4 great kids: Sophia, Samuel, Rosa, and Ava. David also has a sawmill. I know, right? Cooking, time with family, and music are some of the things that make David happiest.

In his spare time - right, I know - he has a sawmill.

Kevin horner-richardson - Elder

Kevin and his wife Deborah have attended Trinity with their family since 1996. Recently retired, Kevin wonders how he ever had time for a full-time job! Kevin and Deborah have nine children spread from New Hampshire to Oregon and as far south as Texas, and four grandchildren, fortunately much closer to home.

 Kevin is generous with his time and enjoys teaching friends and family the finer points of keeping old vehicles on the road (with which he has much experience!). He enjoys bicycling and hiking, and secretly wishes to play tennis at the US Open.

Throughout its history, the church has recognized that women have particular gifts with which to serve the body of Christ. Trinity Church has formed a team of spiritually mature, godly women who assist the pastor and elders, particularly in their pastoral care for the women of Trinity Church.

Left to right are Eileen Horner, who serves in a variety of ways at Trinity and in the Windsor community. She and her husband, Phil, also stay active traveling to see their two grandchildren.

Heather Cannistraci, a talented artist, married to David, has a huge heart for her family, which includes four children, one grandchild, one cat and a herd of grand-kids (DIL Julie’s goats).

Stephanie McSwain, married to Randy and mother of Esther, is a Texas transplant who loves the Upper Valley, and we love that she and her family are here.

Jacob Vincent - WORSHIP LEADER

Jacob and his wife, Leigh, have attended Trinity since 2005. They have two sons and a daughter. Jacob's two passions are music and the outdoors. He graduated with a BA in music studio recording and is a talented pianist. As an outdoor enthusiast, Jacob loves hiking; he and Leigh have through-hiked the Long Trail —300 miles in 28 days!

Jacob's favorite dessert is an ice cream sundae, and his favorite desert is the Desert of Maine (it's a real place - look it up!).

Carolyn PAyton - Communications Coordinator

Carolyn keeps everything running smoothly around here. Without her organization and attention to detail - well, things would be a lot less organized. She and her husband, Mark, spent three years in Jordan working at a boarding school. One of the cool memories Carolyn has from that time is taking a moonlight camel ride in the Wadi Rum Desert. Carolyn has 5 amazing kids, and 9 equally amazing granddaughters.

In her spare time, Carolyn enjoys trying new recipes, spending time with her kids and grandkids, and making delicious pizza (a skill she honed while serving as a dorm mom to 75 kids over the course of 9 years). She and Mark are slaves to two cats, Sherlock and Watson, and a small flock of chickens.
