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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Zone

ZONE is our Wednesday night ministry for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. We spend time with scripture, play games, eat snacks, make crafts, pray together, and more! ZONE is split into Elementary, Middle School, and High School classes. ZONE is held on Wednesdays during the school year from 6:45 to 8 p.m. Supper is served for the whole family in Miller Hall starting at 5:30 p.m. There is also a women's group, Empowering Women, which meets at the same time. Contact our Family Ministry Director, Christina, for more info.

Bible Class (Pre-K to 12th Grade)

Classes for age 2 through 5th grade are held on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. in the Nursery (basement). Our lessons are usually about the same topic that is preached on during worship, so attending worship AND Sunday School helps kids understand the scripture. We use bible stories, videos, coloring pages, snacks, and worksheets to keep the kids engaged. Contact Christina at the church for more information about Sunday School.

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.

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.
