External Ministries - Ministering to One Another

At Trinity Parish we believe that we are called as a Christian community to be neighbors to those around us, in the city and beyond. We have a long history of community outreach ministries funded by our parish resources, our gift of time, and grants from various foundations. Past priests have followed their passions, and we have been active in a broad variety of organizations: - West Center City Housing Initiative in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity: a partnership with banks and developers to acquire, renovate, and sell homes to rst-time buyers in distressed neighborhoods. - Rise Against Hunger: monies were raised and meals were prepared by our youth group. -Camp Arrowhead: a Diocesan Episcopal camp in Sussex County; scholarships are provided and parish youth are given the opportunity to attend the camp. Currently, the Parish is actively involved with Friendship House in Wilmington. There are many ministries under their umbrella: - We volunteer time and treasure for both of their residential facilities, Clark House and Epiphany House, by preparing meals and taking residents on shopping trips. - Limen House is the branch treating substance addiction; we host AA and other 12-step recovery groups six days a week at our Trinity site. Trinity worked with St. Matthew’s parish (Wilmington) to found Delaware Futures, an intensive mentoring program for low-income high school students. This program was housed at our Trinity site until its success outgrew our facilities; it is in the process of relocating to a larger space.

Housed in the Christina Community Center at our Old Swedes site is a daycare and after-school care facility, Our Future Christian Childcare Center, serving children aged 1 to 12.
