There are many opportunities to serve with us as we do God’s work with our hands, time and talents in our community and the world. Please contact the church office if you are interested in joining any of the activities listed below!
Addressing Food Insecurity
Trinity supports both local and international efforts to alleviate hunger. Current activities include
- Organizing a monthly congregation and neighborhood food drive to benefit food pantries such as Bethesda Help and Manna Food Center.
- Preparing meals for residents of the Interfaith Works Women’s Center
Responding to Hate
Trinity partners with Shaare Torah Jewish Community, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Interfaith Families Project of DC (IFFP), and the Islamic Society of the Washington Area (ISWA) in the annual Montgomery County Interfaith 5K. As a symbol of interfaith respect, this race is held each Labor Day. Join us for a day of family fun and fitness, and celebrate our diverse Montgomery County community of faiths. All proceeds are donated to local beneficiaries which serve those in need in our community.



Responding to Poverty and Destitution
- Trinity supports A Wider Circle to end poverty and improve housing stability and workforce development. Our support includes collecting donations such as furniture, household items, and toys and volunteer hours to help sort and distribute donations
- Trinity also has special collections throughout the year to provide clothing, toys, school supplies, and diapers to reduce family financial burdens. Partners in this work have included Lutheran World Relief, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, Community Family Life Services, Greater DC Diaper Bank, and Lutheran Social Services
- Trinity’s quilting ministry has created quilts for distribution by Lutheran World Relief
Supporting Human Rights
Through the ELCA’s AMMPARO initiative, Trinity supports Migrant Safety and Human Rights in Mexico and Central America. AMMPARO stands for Accompanying Migrant Minors with Protection, Advocacy, Representation, and Opportunities. It represents the ELCA’s commitment to engage as a church body with all of its companions, affiliates, and partners to respond to the migration situation and its causes and to advocate for migrant children and their families.
