Ministry of Missions

"The Other Side of the Street... and The Other Side of the World"

This Missions Vision at Trinity aptly describes our focus for home and world missions.

Community Ministries networks and coordinates our neighborhood and urban ministries as described by "The Other Side of the Street." God didn't plant us in this neighborhood for more than 100 years to isolate ourselves or ignore it. We want to be a church that makes a difference in our community by bringing the gospel in word and deed to attack personal and systemic problems with a concerted effort of various ministries. By marshalling the resources of our local ministries, city agencies and membership we can more effectively bring people to Christ and transform the community. Our goal is a holistic ministry network that addresses all the needs of an individual. For example, we seek to facilitate ministries working together to provide evangelism through Good News Clubs, educational opportunities for underprivileged children, and unemployed or underemployed adults, discipleship and mentoring through FCA, Young Life or Campus Outreach, safe and affordable housing through Habitat for Humanity or Rebuilding Together and cross-cultural worship through outreach and church planting. "Ministry Flows Through Relationships" and we want those relationships to cover the spectrum of need like Surround Sound fills a room with music.... The Other Side of the Street is not so scary when you have learned to love people as Christ described the neighbor in the story of the Good Samaritan.

"The Other Side of the World " denotes our focus on reaching other people groups. Trinity is at the cutting edge of Kingdom work. God didn't open doors to the largest populations on earth or place us in the path that leads to a back door opening to the world for nothing. 

The Other Side of the World is not so distant anymore.

The Ministry of Missions has set a course which the church can visualize, embrace, and participate. Balanced budget allocations reflect this strategy yet provide consistency and support for other existing mission endeavors.  The Ministry of Missions' guide for allocating resources is based on a strategic plan developed at the 2003 Mission Retreat. Our strategic tasks are outlined in the acrostic TASX.
