Serve

Serving at Trinity

We believe serving is part of our calling as Christians. We also believe that serving creates space for us to encounter God, grow spiritually, and disciple others as we find community within Trinity. Serving expands our understanding of who is our brother, our sister, and our neighbor.

We could not function as a church community without the many volunteers who serve on Sundays and throughout the week. Keep reading to find out more about serving on ministry teams at Trinity.

Ways to Serve

Explore the ministry team opportunities below, and click the button to start serving!

Worship Team

The Worship Team is made up of incredible people who use their talents to lead others to encounter God through worship! Our Worship Team has three sub-teams: the Liturgy Team, the Production Team, and the Music Team:

Liturgy Team: Liturgists support the pastor in leading worship services. If you would enjoy reading scripture and leading the congregation in prayer during Sunday services, this is the team for you!

Music Team: If you’re a musician and would like to perform solo or sing in the church choir, join this team.

Production Team: If you have a heart to lead people in worship through technology, or know your way away around a sound board, or want to learn to run AV equipment, the Production Team is for you!

Hospitality Team

The Hospitality Team makes Trinity’s gatherings what they are! If you enjoy talking to people, welcoming new folks and longtime community members, or have a heart for creating welcoming spaces, join the Hospitality Team!

Care Team

The Care Team shows God’s love by caring for members of the Trinity community in times of need. They pray for and with people, they call congregants to check in, they visit folks at home and in the hospital, and they share meals with people.

To join the Care Team, you need to have attended Trinity for 6+ months and be willing to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Children’s Ministry Team

We are building a Children’s Ministry at Trinity! If you enjoy working with kids and contributing to the spiritual growth of children, this is the team for you.

Justice Team

Trinity’s Justice Ministry Team is an action-oriented ministry working to bring about the Kingdom of God in Kansas City by supporting local justice initiatives.

Gilmore Team

Volunteers gather to serve free community meals on Mondays at the Gilmore Meal, a Trinity tradition since 1985, named for longtime Trinitarians Earl and Beverly Gilmore. Lunch is served from noon to 1, and volunteers gather earlier to prepare. On the 2nd and 4th Mondays, we also offer an Emergency Pantry with hygiene items and laundry vouchers, among other necessities.

The Lord’s Table Team

Volunteers gather to serve free community meals on Saturdays at The Lord’s Table, a tradition with more than 30 years of history. Lunch is served from 11:30am-12:30pm, and volunteers gather earlier to prepare.

Baby Grace Team

The Baby Grace Ministry provided more than 90,000 free diapers to families in need in 2023! This ministry is a partnership between Trinity and St. John’s UMC, and we distribute diapers on the second Saturdays of every month from 2-4pm and the Thursdays following from 6-7pm.

Creative Team

Are you a photographer, visual artist, graphic designer, or marketing professional who wants to use your gifts to bless the church? Being a part of this team could mean helping our Director of Operations with one-off design projects or taking photos of a special event! If this team sounds like you, we’d love to find a place for you!

Admin

The Church, just like every organization, has practical needs! If you are administratively minded, have time in your calendar to give to the church, or just have willing hands and an eager spirit, this team is for you. Being a part of this team could mean organizing, jumping in on a project, folding bulletins, or helping with the day to day. There are always things to do, and we’d love to find a place for you!
