Congregational Business Directory 2011
Purpose Our ministry at Trinity United Church of Christ has been shaped by our vision as a church “In the Heart of the Community, ever-seeking to win the community’s heart.” We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a African American worship service and ministries that address the African American Community. It is our belief that the highest level of achievement for any African American must be a contribution of strength and continuity of our community. As part of our mission, we are a congregation working towards economic parity. We believe that the fortunate among us must combine forces with the less fortunate to become agents of change for God. We encourage individuals to reach for, even strain for excellence so that we can increase, geometrically, the value and resourcefulness of our community. We encourage the community to allocate regularly a portion of personal resources for strengthening and supporting African American institutions. As we focus our Christian life on Christ, Community and Culture, and supporting one of the principles of the Nguza Saba “Ujamaa”, or cooperative economics, it is important that we facilitate lengthening the time resources remain within the community. For these reasons, in promotion of the ministry of Trinity United Church of Christ, this directory has been published for the use of Trinity United Church of Christ family and the community it serves. Church In Society Ministry (CIS) CIS is committed to educating and empowering the individual and the community to improve our world by standing up to injustice. The ministry works to establish Christian principles in the economic, social, and political aspects of our church and community life.
