Local Outreach

Reaching out to the city of Rochester and all of SE Minnesota.

Four Spheres of Outreach

God in his sovereignty has placed us all within particular places throughout southeastern Minnesota where we have the opportunity to reach others with the good news of the gospel of grace. Keeping this in mind, we at Trinity see at least four places where outreach takes place.

Personal

Sharing the good news of the gospel of grace through individual relationships among family, friends, and others in our spheres of influence.

Neighborhood

Reaching others by inviting them into our homes, our families and our lives through open-hearted hospitality in the spheres of influence where God has placed us. 

Church

Inviting others into the life of the local church. This includes weekly corporate worship and our various small group opportunities taking place throughout the week.

Community 

Connecting with our wider community through service, education, and creative outreach.
