Before Jesus ascended to heaven He left us with this command "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." (Matthew 28:19) Trinity has taken this scripture to heart. Each year our youth and adults spend hundreds of man-hours serving the Lord. Missionaries from Trinity go to share the gift of salvation, and to lend helping hands in areas such as construction, remodeling, and teaching the gospel. They have served in and around the Southern Maryland region, throughout the United States, and around the world. While our goal is to send missionaries around the world to share the saving power of Jesus Christ and to help in areas of needs, they come back with a blessing that cannot be measured in time or money.
Upcoming Mission Trips
Trips are currently being planned for the summer of 2012 for adults, families, youth and young adults. We are planning to return to Russia this summer. If you are interested, please contact Karen VanDuzer (
