Serve

Service is one of our passions at Trinity

We believe that Jesus changes everything–bringing better possibilities not just for the future but for how life can be here and now. Therefore we partner with amazing agencies locally and around the world who are working to promote justice, practice compassion, resolve conflict, and spark new imagination for the God-possibilities of the world.

Not only is service a gift we offer other people, it also provides a great opportunity to form new friendships and discover what God has uniquely equipped each of us to bring to the world. We would love to help you find a way to use your own experiences and skills to make a real difference in the lives of others at Trinity, in Phoenix, and around the globe.

Serving in the community

Home building and repairs

Every year on President’s Day weekend, Trinity sends an enthusiastic crew to Puerto Peñasco, Mexico to build and repair homes with one of our mission partners there, Oc3anview Ministries. All ages are welcome and no construction expertise is required.

Really Really Free Market (RRFM)

Trinity’s Local Mission Task Force is pleased to host a Really Really Free Market in the community park on the fourth Saturday of every other month from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. The RRFM aims to reduce waste, foster sharing, and stewardship by inviting neighbors to share items (clothing, books, household goods) or skills (repairs, haircuts) at no cost, reflecting God’s economy where there is always enough for all.

Neighbor2Neighbor

Trinity operates its own community needs notification system. Attenders can send in a service request for a neighbor in need (for example, moving help or a bicycle fix). The request goes out as a text message alert to dozens of volunteers who have signed up to be available to respond.

Local Mission Grants

Each year Trinity makes available local mission grants that are given out to support efforts our attenders are making outside of Trinity events and ministries to serve people in their own neighborhoods and circles.

Other non-profit opportunities

Trinity attenders are active in regular volunteer roles in a variety of local non-profits including International Rescue Committee, St. Vincent de Paul, Aim Right, and Abounding Service. Our members are active in refugee resettlement, in providing supportive care to disabled adults, in restorative justice work, and in prison ministries. During our Sunday morning worship services, we regularly invite Trinity attenders and representatives from local non-profits to update us on their important work and share ways the rest of us can get involved.

Serving at Trinity

In addition to all the opportunities to get involved in serving the broader community, there are always many ways you can use your gifts and talents within Trinity itself.

Our Sunday service teams are always looking for volunteers in a variety of areas including coffee servers, greeters, children and nursery workers, tech team, worship team, and adaptive adult class helpers.

Midweek there are opportunities to prepare meals for memorial services or community events, plan family activities, visit housebound adults, or help support ministries for young adults and retirees.

A complete listing of service opportunities within Trinity is available at the welcome desk or from the Trinity office.
