Care Ministry

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. —2 Corinthians 1:3&4

There are times it seems as if the entire world is working against you.  Illness, injury, times when you need a helping hand.  That is what Trinity's Care Ministries are all about.  Throughout the New Testament, we read about the church coming to the aid of people in need.  This still holds true in the 21st century.  Through a number of ministries, people within Trinity support one another in discouraging times.

Following is a list of Trinity's Care Ministry areas.  Should you have questions regarding any of these ministries, please call or email Pastor Royce Allen at 272-3849.

Baptism

If you have received Christ as your savior and Lord and have not yet been baptized as a believer, perhaps you would like to consider Baptism. Contact Helen Reed at 272-3854.

Bereavement

Has someone in your family died? Open Close

If you are a member or frequent attendee at Trinity, we can provide a pastor to do the funeral service, a luncheon for the family and bereavement counseling. The loss of a loved one is a sad and often traumatic occurrence. Trinity ministers to families dealing with death in a number of comforting ways: by providing support through counseling, prayer, conducting the funeral, hosting a post-funeral luncheon, and helping determine needs the family may have as a result of the death. For more information, please call Helen Reed at 272-3854.
