Asbury Park, Trinity Church

Trinity strives to be a community where God’s unconditional love is practiced. Our commitment to love in action is demonstrated through a vibrant social justice ministry, which includes a Food Pantry; a Saturday Community Meal (soup kitchen); the Racial Justice Project; the Women’s Hospitality Network and Code Blue winter emergency housing programs; and our new Radical Wellbeing Program, which provides holistic support and casework for those experiencing homelessness, including rent and security deposit grants, job skills and interview training, financial literacy and empowerment, and recovery meetings and mentorship.

Other important Trinity ministries are a robust spiritual formation program, a new special service for children and families, music and arts, and LGBTQ+ inclusion and advocacy led by our Pride Committee.

Our Mission: At Trinity, love is at the very core of our faith and ministry. Our mission then is simple: to love God and to love our neighbor. This conviction leads us to respect the dignity of all people, welcome the stranger, embrace our enemy, demonstrate radical hospitality, reach out to help those who are marginalized and in need, be advocates for justice and peace, and maintain a genuine commitment to inclusivity and diversity in our church family. Trinity is Love!

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God…
…For if we love one another, God abides in us, and God’s love will be perfected in us.
1 John 4:7,12

Love is at the very core of Trinity Church. Through our faith and ministry, we seek to share Jesus Christ’s unconditional, revolutionary love for all of God’s creation and people. We demonstrate love in action by respecting the dignity of all, practicing radical hospitality, standing in solidarity with the marginalized, advocating for peace and justice, dismantling structural racism and every system of oppression, embracing inclusivity, maintaining our sacred space as a spiritual and physical sanctuary, and pursuing ecological sustainability. Strengthened by joyful worship, prayer, lifelong spiritual formation, stewardship of resources, pastoral care, and fellowship, we commit to follow Jesus in the Way of Love.
