Trinity United Methodist Church exists through the gifts of time, money and other resources committed to creating spaces where all are embraced by the love of God, and where we help all with their spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. This includes those who are regular participants in the ministry of this church and anyone else who simply supports what we are trying to do in the community.
You can help in the following ways:
Financial Giving
We know that the church in general is sometimes criticized for just being concerned about money, and we hesitate to ask. Yet, operating our building, paying our staff, and supporting our work in the community requires financial support.
We have recently moved to a new way of accepting donations online, through Givebutter. This service ensures that 100% of what you donate goes to our work by asking for a small tip and paying a small processing fee. Please use the donation form on the page to make your donation. Please select from the following funds for where you would like your gift to go:
- The Operating Fund is a general donation to the church to help us keep the lights on, pay our staff, and take care of all the other expenses that come with operating a church.
- The Community Table Fund allows us to purchase food and other items for the days when we are responsible for the Community Table lunch program.
- The Helping Hands Fund assists people in need through a variety of ways at the discernment of the pastor.
- The Memorial Fund is donations given in honor or memory of an individual. These funds are kept in reserve and are used for special projects with input from those donating. You may also donate to any of the other funds in honor or memory of someone.
Giving of Time and Energy
We regularly need volunteers to assist with our services to the community. That includes:
- Volunteering to cook, serve, and clean with The Community Table lunch program housed at Trinity.
- Assisting with preparing food for Good Samaritan Haven, our regional homeless shelter.
- Helping with building maintenance.
