Trinity Outreach Ministries
Trinity’s Outreach Ministries are pathways for parishioners to translate hearts of worship into hands of service by building relationships with our neighbors in need and by partnering with them to create a healthy, just, peaceful and sustainable neighborhood and world.
The Outreach Commission, which meets monthly, oversees all Outreach activities. Our current mission priorities are food security, housing, and neighborhood companionship in Northwest Portland and community development in Honduras. Contacts: Charyl Cathey or Priscilla Cowell, Outreach Commission Co-chairs. Other Outreach Commission Members include: Preston Holt (Northwest Portland Ministries), Fred Jeibmann (Food Pantry), Marilynn Gordon (Honduran Scholarships), Chris Hardman (Thanksgiving Dinner, Honduran Mission Trip), Mark Reber (SeniorConnect), Ginny Utti (Transition Projects Dinners), Katherine Novy (Trinity Inspirational Endowment), Dottie Thompson (Trinity Place Adult Day Care), Nick Corbin (William Temple House), Lisa Shaw, Leigh Wilson and Greg Harris
