Global Missions
Engaging an ever-changing world with a never-changing gospel.
For nearly a century, Trinity has been sending missionaries, planting churches, and partnering with global organizations so that God’s glory may be declared among the nations.
Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
Psalm 105:1

ETHIOPIA SURI
This team oversees Trinity’s ongoing work with our Ethiopia mission partners. They invest in outreach, translation, and literacy efforts for the Suri and Suri-Baale who, until recently, were unreached people groups in the Southwest corner of Ethiopia. They also foster our relationship with the South West Bethel Synod, within which the Suri live. They mainly help the Bible School, which trains pastors (including Suri ones). Every year or two, a trip is made to visit the Suri, the translators, and our Synod in Ethiopia.
MISSIONARY CARE (MCARE)
Offers global partners encouragement through prayer and hospitality. Each member of the Team serves as liaison.
CORE
Respective team leaders come together to listen, learn, and pray on how God may be leading Trinity to fulfill the Great Commission.
