COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Our ministry to the emotionally and mentally handicapped is a monthly meal and social gathering in the church's fellowship hall. The program has just celebrated its 25th year! Volunteers are always welcome to visit with our guests, help prepare the meal, serve, and clean up.
Since the summer of 1999, our church continues to partner with this ministry in the Codman Square area of Dorchester. The Boston Project is a community-based organization with a passion for seeing renewal in urban neighborhoods. They operate several neighborhood outreach ministries and also partner with over twenty faith-based and secular organizations to meet the physical, social, academic, and spiritual needs of people. Trinity has connected with this ministry through regular week-long summer mission trips as well as weekend service retreats. After his week with BP in 2007, one of our youth took a moment to reflect. "This week I learned what it means to "spend yourself. To give something everything you have, your time, your patience, your energy, your strength, your love and your money. When you serve like this, people cannot help but notice." - Peter Schultz

PROJECT MANNA
The second Friday of every month church volunteers and members of the youth group volunteer at Project Manna, an outreach program to the homeless and hungry. The team helps prepare and serve a four-course dinner. This warm, nutritious meal is offered year-round to anyone in need. Approximately 100 homeless individuals enjoy this meal twice per week in a supportive, caring environment. Project Manna is a ministry of the Massachusetts Avenue Baptist Church in Cambridge.

MEXICO TEAM MISSION
Since 2003 we have been sending youth and adult mission teams to Reynosa, Mexico to help at the Pilar Esperanza Children's Home for 1 to 2 weeks in the summer. The work consists of a combination of physical labor (built a full size basketball court out of cement, helped build a new dormitory) and running a daily children's program in Spanish.
Our congregation provides financial and prayer support for a number of missionaries and outreach programs in partnership with the Evangelical Covenant Church.
