Our Mission in Jamaica

Since 1998 Trinity has annual sent teams to Jamaica to enact our congregation's mission of "Serving in Christ's Love and Sharing the Good News." Designed to extend the love of Christ, this global mission of Trinity seeks to advance the outreach of the Church by:

• Loving our Jamaican neighbors by serving them through building, teaching and feeding projects
• Creating global and cross-cultural friendships
• Providing us new ways to share our time, money and abilities Trinity is dedicated to global mission partnerships that make a tangible for others God's love in Christ and assist in creating better communities through the work of the Church.

Since 2009 teams of Trinity men have partnered with Jabneh Christian Academy and provided two classroom structures, bathroom facilities and playground equipment. Trinity also provided a $10,000 gift to assist with the purchase of the property.

The Academy enrolls 80 children from kindergarten to grade 8 and is a ministry of Maranatha Ministries International located in Kingston, Jamaica. Trinity has partnered with Maranatha Ministries International since 2000.

2013 Success and Plans for 2014

This past January, a team of six Trinity men returned to Jabneh Christian Academy in Grange Hill, Jamaica and built the first 40' of a second classroom structure. This addition provides space for the Kindergarten class. This mission project was funded through the generosity of 100 donors who are Trinity members and friends. Thanks to all who bless this mission partnership.

Looking to 2014, plans are in the making for another men's team to travel to Jabneh in January. Then, in hopes that the March spring break week will attract families who desire a "vacation with a purpose" we'll be forming a team of women,men and kids to enjoy this global partnership. Look for information right here by the end of summer before you make your winter vacation plans for 2014! Donate here!
