Since the start of the pandemic, Trinity has prioritized responding to the emerging needs of our community. Our Mission & Public Witness Committee has met frequently via video conference to hear updates from our mission partners, consider needs, and plan our response. We wanted to share a comprehensive picture of the work we have been able to do over the past five months in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

All of our mission work is enabled through your generosity. Each donation at our curbside food drives, each meal prepared, each pledge sent enables us to witness to the redeeming power of Christ in our world. Thank you!
