Who Are We?

Who we are…

Trinity Church is a progressive congregation tucked in the historic Greenbush Neighborhood. Trinity prides itself on being small, friendly, and diverse.

Small – Trinity’s size makes it easy for members to connect, allowing friendships and deeper faith to grow. Some members are students at the University; others are individuals who come across town or families who live in the neighborhood. Many older parishioners have been connected with this church, the Greenbush and South Side neighborhoods for decades.

Friendly – Trinity is a warm, caring faith community. It intentionally works to build stronger intergenerational relationships — offering home and family — in a lively, mobile city.

Diverse – Trinity Church is the Greenbush. Today, as over its rich history, Trinity prides itself on racial, ethnic, linguistic, and even theological diversity. Trinity’s members come from countries such as Ukraine, Germany, Ghana, Liberia and Peru and from states from Maine to Wisconsin to California, with more than 15 languages spoken among the congregants. We strive to model the “One body of Christ” with many members.

What We’re About…

As the body of Christ, the many members of the body must be strong and able. This means that as individual believers, we must work to ready ourselves for the communal work of mission and ministry in the world. At Trinity United Methodist Church we do this in the following ways:

Daily Devotion — reading scripture and connecting with God on a daily basis is essential. Members are encouraged to read and study on their own or pick up one of the suggested devotional materials that are available.

Weekly Worship — attending worship is the primary form to praise God and reconnect with other friends of faith. If you’re not here on Sunday, you are missed!

Monthly Mission — the Missions Committee works to enable you to serve in acts of piety, peace, justice, and mercy. Join with us serving others is a response to and outpouring of our love for Jesus.

Annual Alms — members of Trinity Church are called to tithe their income. 10% giving is a Biblical standard for those disciplined in the act of sacrificial sharing.

Forever in Formation — formation is a term for Christian discipleship. We learn and grow in our faith by being in small groups and Bible studies. Such participation is also a more intimate way than worship to share the journey of faith with others.
