Wider Church Ministries at Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity’s history of giving to the wider church and community has always been held in highest regards. This spirit continues today through partnership with many dedicated organizations. One way we see the fruits of our wider church ministry is through the success of our partners in Christ.

Holy Trinity supports organizations in a number of ways.  Firstly, Holy Trinity recognizes that it is through the Grace of God that we succeed in any endeavor we chose to undertake.  Thusly, prayer is at the forefront of our efforts, lifting up all those ministries with which we choose to partner.  Secondly, Holy Trinity partners with organizations such as Interfaith Housing Alliance in providing hospitality to those that may fall upon had times in their lives and need a helping hand.  Finally, Holy Trinity supports organizations through financial contributions, both direct and through the national church.
