Trinity Church is a place where you can be you. We are not a church that has all the answers, but we do know the source of our hope, healing, and love. Your continued participation is welcome as we seek to serve God through each other, our community, and our world.

ST. LUKE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
St. Luke United Methodist Church has always been quite passionate about mission outreach and particularly feeding the hungry. We are located in a specific pocket of Austin with widely varying socio-economic situations. Therefore, over the years, we have provided food for people in various ways in order to reach those in need – city/neighborhood pantry efforts, our own attempt at food distribution, food drives at our neighborhood school, meals for Habitat construction crews, emergency financial support for families needing groceries, Thanksgiving baskets, support/snack bags for the homeless, and eventually teaming with Trinity UMC in support of Hope. We are very devoted to this ministry, and it touches the hearts of almost everyone at St. Luke, moving them to participation in one way or another to help feed people. We have a regular crew of people involved in delivering food to Trinity every week, and some members also volunteer at Hope to help pack and distribute groceries. Even our youngest children help out by collecting food donations every Sunday during our worship service.
TARRYTOWN UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
Tarrytown United Methodist Church has always been involved with Hope. Lately, Tarrytown members have donated generously and a member joined the Advisory Board.
