Our Mission
We believe God is calling Trinity United Church to:
- Reach out and serve the wider community and the world
- To nurture spirituality in people of all ages
- To be a safe, open, welcoming and inclusive community of faith.
What do those words mean? Well, we gather together because we think that’s what God wants for us—to be a community. More than a community, we are like a big family who take care of each other and work hard to love and care for the world around us. And, like Jesus, we try to love and welcome everyone — regardless of who they are or where they come from!
News and Events
What's Happening at Trinity?
Hello Trinity Friends,
It is hard to believe it is Labour Day weekend already! Summer seemed to fly by. For all those returning to school (students and teachers), we hope you have a smooth transition and a great start to the new year! This Sunday worship begins at 10:30 am. A reminder that the Fall Newsletter is ready and can be found here on our website Trinity Fall Newsletter
Next Sunday, we officially rally back to church with our special celebratory worship service followed by our annual church family picnic at Camp Tillicum (see later in this email for more information). On Rally Back Sunday (September 13th) you are encouraged to bring your school or work bags for a special blessing.
This year’s Sunday School theme is “Building Faith, Piece by Piece.” Through Bible stories, messages, and activities, we’ll explore how each piece of our faith helps build a strong foundation. We are the building blocks of the Church! Our Sunday School is a thriving place for young people to engage in faith formation – if you’d like to be part of the team, please speak with Lisa as we are always in need of Sunday School teachers.
Rally Back Picnic – Sunday, September 13
Join us at Camp Tillicum on the shores of Lake Nipissing. Sunday September 13th from 2 – 6 pm. All are welcome! There will be games, food, fellowship and a lakeside vesper’s service to close out the event. Sandwich meat and buns, refreshments and ice-cream treats will be provided. Please bring a potluck appetizer or side dish to share, plates, cutlery and a lawn chair. Camp Tillicum is located at 774 Tillicum Bay Road (off of Hwy 654). All are welcome!
Apple Pie Season is here!
We will be busy in September and October with our Apple Pie Project. If you have never helped before, please consider joining in on the fun. Someone will guide you through each of the tasks. If you are not able to stand, there are jobs that require sitting on a chair. We will provide coffee, tea, and cold drinks. Please bring a snack for your coffee break. If you are only able to stay for a portion of the time, we still appreciate the help. Here are a couple of upcoming dates to remember:
- Monday September 7, 9:00 – 11:00 – clean the kitchen
- Tuesday September 8, 9:00 – 1:00 – Spice Bags (a sitting job) and Dry Pastry (standing in the kitchen, cutting the lard into the flour) and bringing them to the freezer.
- Wednesday September 9, 9:00 – 1:00 – Spice Bags (a sitting job) and Dry Pastry (standing in the kitchen, cutting the lard into the flour) and bringing them to the freezer.
Our goal is to make 1200 pies this year and the price is $18.00 per pie (sugar or Splenda). The order forms can be found in your bulletin or on the table outside the office. Please get your orders in as soon as possible. Let your friends know and don’t delay as the pies go quickly!

Trinity Groups
Groups for Youth & Kids
Trinity Youth Group
Trinity youth, and occasionally youth from other area churches, meet throughout the year. We participate in a variety of fun activities with a goal towards building a community of faith and friendship. We hold a yearly Prayer Vigil, organize a major Christmas Bag Outreach, participate in the occasional bible study, attend wider Church events such as Worshiplude, the Niagara Youth Festival and Rendezvous, enjoy local events such as Escape Rooms, Nature Hikes, Games Nights and more!
Sunday School
Our Sunday School is dynamic and fun. You may find us in the kitchen cooking, in the gym playing games, in the fellowship hall doing crafts and more! We use a rotational model of Sunday school where children engage the bible story through crafts, cooking, games, discovery, music, drama and more! All children are welcome!
We also have a nursery for pre-school aged children which is supervised by a paid caregiver.
Nursery
Children from birth to age 3 are cared for by a paid caregiver. Our nursery is a cozy, safe and fun place for children to spend time in while their parents, grandparents or caregivers attend worship service. Our caregivers must pass a vulnerable sector criminal record screening.
Mustard Seed Theatre Group
Mustard Seed Theatre sprang from the idea that important things can grow from tiny actions. In the parable of the mustard seed, Jesus compares the tiny seed to the Kingdom of Heaven, revealing that the smallest of seeds sprout into a great plant that provides shelter for living creatures (Mark 4:31-32). Mustard Seed was created in 2007 to provide opportunities for youth to build community around a common love of theatre.
Trinity Families
We are a group of Trinity people committed to having fun with and without our kids. We get together for outings in the North Bay area, and sometimes we get sitters and stay up late doing things that would bore the kids.
We participate in a yearly winter retreat on Family Day weekend, host a friendly Chili Cook-off and Music Night, set up special VIP seating for the Santa Claus Parade, hold a outdoor movie night, a Hallowe’en party, games nights and more!
Infant Food Shelf
Trinity United Church holds an Infant Food Bank for families with infants up to 12 months of age each Wednesday from 10 am to 12 noon. ID required.
Items that are available are:
Diapers, Baby Food, Wipes, Gift cards for formula, and other baby supplies as available.
