What Do We Do At Trinity?
Loaves & Fishes
Loaves & Fishes is a ministry of Trinity United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, and Senior High Honor Society. This food distribution ministry occurs every second Saturday of the month. We take food insecurity very seriously in Grand Island with the surrounding area and enjoy serving our community. We serve between 350 and 450 families, which is around 1,300 individuals every month.
Howard Elementary School
Our church has been helping provide snacks for the students of Howard school since the pandemic hit and forced schools to change their lunch time routine. To join in this ministry please bring individually wrapped (low sugar) snacks to the church office.
Bible Class (Pre-K to 12th Grade)
Classes for age 2 through 12th grade are held on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. from September through April. Preschool and Elementary children will meet in the Zone Room (downstairs) before splitting into classes by grade. Middle and high school students will meet in the Tower Room (3rd floor). Older high schoolers may wish to participate in the young adult class held in the Library (downstairs) or other adult classes.
Zone
Kids Zone for elementary students is located in the Zone Room (Downstairs). Youth Zone includes a middle school class in the Youth Room (Upstairs) and a high school class in the Tower Room (3rd floor).
United Methodist Men
United Methodist Men involves men in a growing relationship to Jesus Christ and his church and provides resources and support for programs of evangelism, stewardship and the needs of men.
United Women in Faith
United Women in Faith seeks to connect and nurture women through Christian spiritual formation, leadership development, creative fellowship, and education so that they can inspire, influence and impact local and global communities.
Praise Teams
Our praise teams feature different types of music for each service. First in our Sunday rotations, Chancel Choir is our traditional church choir that sings hymns and a special song. The other days is our contemporary CrossPoint band.
Prayer Shawls
Our Prayer Shawl ministry makes prayer shawls for people to sign out and take to those who need comfort. This group meets every Thursday at 1 p.m. in The Gathering Place.
Habitat For Humanity
For Habitat for Humanity, members gather to help with builds and construction needs in Grand Island. We volunteer our physical labor and time to help our neighbors in need.
Mathetes Bible Study
The Tuesday Bible Study meets for discussion, study, and fellowship in the Youth Room. This bible study begins at 1 p.m.
Along with the ministries mentioned above, we donate items to the Salvation Army to match their monthly needs. Trinity partners with Hope Harbor and donates money for gas vouchers. Our church offers many family events throughout the year; including, Vacation Bible School, Trunk-or-Treat, Sunday School, Youth Group, Coloring at The Chocolate Bar, Rummage Sale, and more. Members volunteer in the community by helping with the City Wide Clean Up and the State Fair.
This list only scratches the surface of the many ways our members and friends serve others within the community.
