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!

What's Happening at Trinity?
Greetings on this Thanksgiving weekend! This Sunday at 10:30 am, we celebrate Thanksgiving Sunday. We will be joined by special guest instrumentalists who will enhance our musical offerings. We will hear a special Stewardship message by one of Trinity’s youngest givers and view our catchy Stewardship Campaign Video.
In Sunday School, the children will make something with some of the left over Trinity Apple pie apples and learn about sharing and gratitude.
Speaking of Apples, a huge thank you to Darlene Laferriere and her team of incredible volunteers who made over 1200 delicious apple pies this past week! There will be more details shared in the days to come. Think of how many tables will be graced with a delicious Trinity apple pie this weekend! Thank you Darlene and all the many volunteers who make this major fundraiser a success!
In keeping with a message of gratitude – special thanks also to the members of First Team 1305 who have been helping us build our lego church each week. A reminder that this Sunday, we invite you to bring in your mini lego figure if you have one!
Traditionally on Thanksgiving Sunday, we ask the Congregation to bring in items or cash donations to our Trinity Food Shelf. Our Food Bank provides compassionate service and food to over 300 people a month. Your gifts of non-perishable food or money will help keep our cupboards full. Items that would be most useful are: cereal, peanut butter, canned milk, soup, pasta, canned luncheon meat, feminine hygiene products and other toiletries. The Sunday School children will collect your offerings this Sunday. Thanks for supporting this very needed outreach.

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
