Mission and Outreach: Making a Difference in the World for Christ

Caring Cupboard

Every month, Trinity helps to feed families who are struggling with food insecurity right here in our community. We work with the Chester County Food Bank, local partners, and volunteers to ensure that our neighbors do not have to worry where their next meal will come from.

Caring for Creation

The Caring for Creation Ministry started with the development of native-plant gardens in 2015. It has since grown to include other areas of stewardship having to do with using natural resources responsibly. In all that we do, we seek to honor God's creation and respect the needs of those whose lives are most affected by our use of resources.

Mental Health and Addictions Ministry (MHAM)

The Mental Health and Addiction Support Ministry exists to provide education with a focus on prevention, early intervention, referral assistance and to support recovery in a confidential, accepting and healing environment.

The Mission Committee of Trinity Presbyterian Church also currently supports partner organizations and outreach, including volunteer opportunities where appropriate, in such areas as:
