Community Ministries - Tutoring Program


Trinity has partnered with our local elementary school, Congress Elementary, located at 940 Baldwin Street SE for more than a decade.  We provide tutoring, mentoring and other supports to the building our elementary students attend.  We fully participate in the United Way’s FACTS Program (Families and Communities Together for Students) by sending church members to Congress to tutor for 30 – 60 minutes each week.  We also assist the PTA in their bi-monthly popcorn sale by popping the corn and distributing it to the individual classrooms.  The proceeds from these sales directly benefit the school environment. 

 

Because of our unique relationship with the school, we are consistently used as a resource for families in need of everyday things.  We are proud of the fact that the staff and administrators turn to us during these times of need.  As the children graduate from the elementary level to the middle school building, we have followed them in their endeavors academically and socially.  It is our hope to continue with them throughout their lives!

 

As we contemplate the future, we would like to continue our walk with each child through life’s journey as we believe together that we can have a lasting, positive impact on children’s lives and the lives of everyone in our community.
