Missions
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” -- Matthew 25:35-36
Community Meals Program
Since 1982, Trinity has provided nutritious free meals to between 60 and 100 homeless and low-income people. In recent years, the program has spread to other area congregations. Together, Pottstown churches provide three lunches and two dinners each week, including Tuesday dinners served every week at Trinity.
Ecuador Partnership
In 2002 Trinity began supporting two communities, Pastocalle and Rasuyacu Chiguanto, in Cotapaxi Province, Ecuador, through UCC-DOC World Service. Donated funds help our missionaries develop sustainable livestock and agricultural programs.

Youth Mission Trip
Trinity youth take a mission trip each summer. In 2002 they participated in the local Schuylkill Valley Workcamp, which we sponsored. This year’s mission trip is planned for Pleasant Hill, TN. Learn more on the youth page.
Schuylkill Valley Workcamps
In 2000 and 2002 Trinity sponsored two Group Workcamps, each of which brought over 400 youth and adults from across the country. Through these workcamps, volunteers completed 2400 hours of work in 126 homes of needy people in the Pottstown area.
