Missions

“You did not choose me, but I chose you.  And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last.”

John 15:16

Trinity Presbyterian Church is a place for service.

Just as Jesus Christ came not to be served but to serve, we accept our responsibility to reflect the love and humble servanthood of Jesus by reaching out in service to others.

Trinity is involved in several local mission activities through the voluntary service of its members and with direct financial support. We also offer members a variety of ways in which to be involved in denominational and world-wide missions. Some of the ministries through which we touch people are:

Membership Care

“That the members may have the same care for one another—if one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.”

I Corinthians 12: 25b-26

Trinity Presbyterian Church is a place where members care for each other.

We strive to build bonds of concern and genuine commitment, believing that Christ wants us to bear one another's burdens and share one another's joys. Growing together, we worship, serve, learn, and reach out to our ever-widening Church family as we follow the example of Jesus Christ.

Care Groups
Members of the Trinity family are organized into numerous small care groups based on geographic proximity in the community. Care Group leaders maintain contact among the group members and promote prompt and appropriate responses to individuals' needs and concerns.

Bereavement Group
Several church members coordinate meals and other appropriate ministries to grieving members of the church family. 

Special Needs
Church members coordinate the care of those who have special needs or are temporarily incapacitated. In addition, we celebrate births and special occasions in the lives of those in our church family.

Prayer-Gram Ministry
As part of our congregation’s prayer life, we send “prayer-grams” to members, relatives, and friends of the congregation who are placed on the prayer list.  Also, each week two member families are placed on the list as “members remembered in prayer” not necessarily for a specific need, but as a gesture of care for all.  The Elders meet every week before worship to pray for those on the prayer list.  A prayer chain is maintained for circumstances needing immediate attention.
