As our city, country, and world navigate an unprecedented health crisis, our thoughts and prayers are with all who are impacted by COVID-19. To help curtail the spread of COVID-19, Trinity Church has suspended all events. Via email and social media, Trinity provides resources for private and community worship, formation and connection. All volunteer opportunities are currently on hold, including the Trinity Loaves and Fishes (TLF) ministry. Rest assured, we are in touch with all the TLF community partners and are working to continue to address their needs during this time.
