In Our World

Jamaica

Since 1998 Trinity has annually sent teams to Jamaica to enact 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 the Church by:

Loving our Jamaican neighbors by serving them through building, teaching, and feeding projects.
Creating global and cross-cultural friendships.
Providing new ways to share our time, money, and abilities. Trinity is dedicated to global mission partnerships that make tangible God’s love in Christ and assist in creating better communities through the work of the Church.

Trinity’s trips to Jamaica are designed to provide an opportunity to:

- Experience Christian community, faith, and friendship in a cross-cultural setting.
- Apply your gifts to grow Jabneh Christian Academy by providing them more space for educating children.
- Engage your abilities and find increasing joy in serving others in Christ’s love.
