Serve in Tallahassee
Serve in Tallahassee
As a 200 year old church, our roots in the Tallahassee community go deep. We are planted in the center of Tallahassee, right in the midst of this dynamic capital city, and both the opportunities and the needs are great. Take a look at the following list of community programs and ministries that we are engaged with:
Local Missions
1:30pm on the first Monday of the month.
Please reach out to Pat Bevis at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Justice Committee
4:30pm on the third Wednesday of every month.
Please reach out to Rev. Anna Brook Opalinski at [email protected] with any questions or for the Zoom link if you are unable to attend in person.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
4:30pm on the first Wednesday of each month.
Please reach out to Rev. Anna Brook Opalinski at [email protected] with any questions or for the Zoom link if you are unable to attend in person.
Capital Area Justice Ministry
The Capital Area Justice Ministry is a coalition of nearly 20 religious congregations across the Tallahassee, Florida, area who are building a community wide ministry that will unite faith communities across the Big Bend in answering the call to do justice.
Snack Packs
Every Monday and Thursday morning, a group of Trinity volunteers distributes bags of snacks and hygiene items to our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Mats for the Homeless
Ever wondered what to do with all those clean, dry, used plastic shopping bags? Trinity has joined with others around the country who are repurposing these bags to make something extremely useful (and in great demand) – a water-resistant, cushiony sleeping mat for people who are homeless.
Disaster Relief Team
Our Disaster Relief team comes alongside families and individuals in the wake of hurricanes and other natural disasters to provide aid and help clean up yards and homes and remove debris.
Creation Care Ministry
Trinity United Methodist Church Creation Care Ministry recognizes that all creation is the Lord’s. We work toward sustainability inside the walls of Trinity and outside in the Tallahassee community.
Bear Sunday
Each year, Trinity identifies the community agencies that will be recipients of the hundreds of new bears donated by our congregation on “Bear Sunday” each February. This is a powerful ministry that touches the lives of many children.
Elder Care
Elder Care Services is the leading provider of community-based senior care. Since their founding in 1970 they have been driven by compassionate and generous community members.
Florida United Methodist Children's Home
The Florida United Methodist Children’s Home has been serving abused, neglected, and troubled children for more than 100 years.
Hats for Friends
Throughout the year, hats and scarves are knitted or crocheted and then donated to those in who lack warm clothing during the winter months and to chemo patients at local hospitals.
International Rescue Committee
Trinity UMC supports a refugee family here in our community through a formal agreement called co-sponsorship. Our co-sponsorship team is a committed group of volunteers who serve our family as friends, allies, and advocates. We support our family through the resettlement process with the ultimate goal of becoming self-sufficient here in the United States. Our volunteers assist with activities such as transportation to medical appointments, cultural orientation, and English language tutoring.
We are always interested in recruiting new members to our co-sponsorship team.
