Mission and Outreach

“He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

Mark 16:15

The Church of the Holy Trinity, Oxford is a mission focused Church. Mission is at the core of all our activities: our Spiritual Development studies, Sunday School & Youth Groups, the Women of Holy Trinity and even our worship put service as their core value. As believers we strongly feel that we are commissioned to actively spread God’s Word and Love amongst all people. In addition to volunteer work, we also provide extension funding to mission-oriented organizations offering disaster relief services.

 

Our annual goal is to at least tithe the operating budget. Our experience has always exceeded that goal. We have typically made donations that are more than that goal each year. We also have established an endowment fund specifically held for future mission activity.
