We seek to conduct our Missions to:


- Use the resources provided by God to fulfill the great commandment
to love our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:39)

and love one another as Christ loved us (John 13:34) by going out into the world
and spread Christ's love through works of faith.


- Do as John Wesley taught …

"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can"

Local Missons
We define “local” rather broadly as Indiana county as well as Western Pennsylvania. These, among several others supported, are illustrative of recently supported local missions:
  • Chevy Chase Community Center  - The Chevy Chase Community Center (Community Action Council, Inc) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization founded in Indiana County Pennsylvania in 1969. The Chevy Chase Community Center’s mission is to engage the community to empower the disadvantaged population of Indiana County and the surrounding rural communities with love, nutrition, education, involvement, and to provide a forum for community action, improvement and development.
  • Child Evangelism Fellowship  - Child Evangelism Fellowship® is a Bible-centered organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
  • Ruth M Smith Center - The Ruth M Smith Center is a Personal Care Home for adults with intellectual and/or physical impairments, and the elderly.  The Center provides assistance to those who need care beyond the basic necessities of food and shelter, and who do not require intermediate or skilled nursing care.  Its ministry extends to Day Care and Preschool for children from the surrounding area.
  • The Salvation Army - The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.

National Missions

Here we often focus our giving through the United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) Advances including:

Global Missions

Once again our primary focus is through UMCOR Advances:

Mobility Worldwide - reflecting the love of God by providing motorized personal transportation worldwide to those who cannot walk.

Rise Against Hunger meal packing - Rise Against Hunger’s meal packaging program is a volunteer-based initiative that coordinates the assembly-line packaging of dehydrated meals comprised of rice, soy, vegetables, and 23 essential vitamins and minerals. Participating in this program affords Trinity the opportunity to be in a hands-on international hunger relief program and to become educated, engaged advocates for the world’s hungry. 

Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child - The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world by packing shoebox sized packages with toys, crafts, clothing and personal care items for age-specific for children 2 - 14. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse and Trinity share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations one child at a time.

UMCOR (United Methodist Committee On Relief) - Connection is at the core of our work with UMCOR and Global Ministries. It connects The United Methodist Church, its people, and congregations to partner with others engaged in God’s global work, which takes place in a variety of settings, countries, and cultures including here in the US. Global Ministries works through missionaries and partners in more than 60 countries around the world. The following are illustrative of the United Methodist missions supported: Eastbrook Mission Barn; Erie UM Alliance; Red Bird Mission; UMCOR Advances for: Disaster Fund, Grace Rural Health Clinic, World Hunger and Poverty.

 

Haiti -

Trinity Church has worked in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake which devastated many parts of the country. We work with partner ministries to carry out our mission in Haiti.  

We support the Vine Ministry, Inc, which supports 200 children through school sponsorship and provides support to both the Vine Evangelical Church and the LeRoy Dick Medical Clinic all located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. More info can be found at vineministry.org

Trinity Church is also the sole support for building a Church in LaVictoire, Haiti. The Church members provide what little money they can and they provide lots of labor support for building their church. We have come alongside them providing, since 2014, almost $70,000 for construction. This vibrant congregation of Jesus followers is patiently waiting and working toward the completion of their church.   

The Church has also sponsored four Mission Trips to Haiti. At this time due to security concerns, no trip is planned. Check back for more info in the future.

The above ministries can be supported through gifts to Trinity Church. Thank you for both your gifts and your prayers.
