Care Ministry

The Deacons at Trinity Church serve as spiritual leaders that are responsible for the basic care of the physical and emotional needs of the body. The office of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. It is the duty of deacons, first of all, to minister to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress giving preference to those in the body of Christ and second to those in the community at large.

REPAIR ASSISTANCE

The purpose of this service is to help those who do not have the resources to perform the repairs themselves or have them done professionally. Help should be guided by common sense and the scope of repairs should be limited to what can be performed by non-professionals in a reasonable length of time without risk of injury.

EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

(FELLOWSHIP FUND)

The purpose of this fund is to help primarily members and attendees of Trinity when they find themselves in financial crisis typically brought on by job loss or an extraordinary expense. The focus is short term help, usually one-time to assist with critical expenses such as car repair, rent due, food, and other similar needs

ENCOURAGEMENT

Everyone can use a little encouragement. This ministry tries to keep an eye out for those in our church congregation who may need a little extra encouraging.
