Missions

Missions Committee Chair:  Karen Pompeo

Trinity is a very mission minded church.  Annual apportions to the United Methodist Church are always met.  Individual Sunday School Classes, the United Methodist Women, the Missions Commission, and many individuals participate and give regularly.

Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic
June 23-July 1, 2009
Trinity sponsored a mission team traveling to the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2009.  The group visited the COPA project led by missionary Connie DiLeo.  If you are interested in joining a future group talk to Stephen Taylor or Mike Pompeo.

The Mission Commission
Global Missionaries
Connie DiLeo is our mission link in the Dominican Republic. In 2007, our church supported this ministry with $8500 in funds.  For several years, Medical Ministry International has been supported by Trinity, both financially and by a medical work team.  In the summer of 2007,  the team spent two weeks in Barahona in the Dominican Republic.

Supported Programs in South Carolina
Trinity youth are very active in the Salkehatchie summer work program - this summer 26 youth and several adults attended the Loris Salkehatchie Camp.  Other supported programs include The Alston Wilkes Society, Johns Island Rural Missions, and an ET (Elderly Transportable) house which was built and is supported by Trinity Members.

Local Missions
Trinity members were leaders in the establishment of two local missions, United Ministries and Shepherds Center, and continue support with funding and volunteers.  Trinity also partners with the Salvation Army's Boys and Girls Club of America. The Boys and Girls Club of Sumter opened in the Fall of 2006 in the Trinity Lincoln Center.  Other Sumter County missions are Safe House (for abused women and their children), Greenhouse (for runaway children) and Habitat for Humanity.
