Trinity's mission and presence has been felt by people in the mountains of Montana, the border lands of Canada, the Native American lands of South Dakota and today in Jamaica, Brazil, and Malawi, Africa.
Jamaica
Trinity sends a team to Kingston every year to live out 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 Kingston’s Maranatha 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 mission teams have been in Kingston eight times. Teams build houses, conduct food sharing projects, and teach preschool children in Maranatha’s school. The mission is to advance the outreach of Maranatha Church and to provide the formation of pathways by which people of the neighborhood can access education, job skills, nurturing relationships and better living conditions.
Trinity is committed to a long-term presence in Kingston. Our goal is to continually expand a positive, helpful and hopeful presence in the congregation and neighborhood around Maranatha. Our annual trip includes building houses in the Waterhouse District, conducting educational activities with the children of Maranatha’s Basic School and sharing food and household goods with dozens of families living in the neighborhood.

Trinity has been paired with the Blantyre Parish. Blantyre is the largest city in Malawi and is located in the southern district of the country. The Blantyre parish consists of seven congregations as well as the parish center. The parish is led by the Rev. Justin Mofolo and his wife, Agnes.
When Trinity laid plans to enlarge our worship center and gathering area the congregation voted to send a first fruits offering to Malawi for the construction of churches there. Trinity's gift went for the construction of four chapels. Then, Trinity sent a delegation of six people to Malawi in October 2004. The delegation traveled throughout the country and visited all congregations of the Blantyre Parish. They were able to meet the people of the parish, worship with them, and see the orphan feeding stations in action.
Brazil
Trinity supports Rev. Allan and Marie Krahn, who live in Sao Leopoldo, Brazil. Allan is a librarian and seminary teacher for the Evangelical Church of the Lutheran Confession in Brazil. The church has one million members and is the largest Lutheran church in South America. It has 1,700 congregations served by 600 pastors.
