Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Trinity Church

Trinity Church is a long‑established Christian congregation based in Kelowna, British Columbia, with a strong emphasis on missions and community impact. Beyond its worship and discipleship activities, the church mobilizes financial resources from its congregation and partners and directs them to a variety of local and international initiatives. Through its missions offerings and special campaigns, Trinity functions as a discretionary funding hub that supports other organizations and projects aligned with its faith‑based vision.

The Missions page explains that Trinity “gets to partner with organizations that commit to coming alongside the disadvantaged and exploited and pave the way to ending the cycle of global poverty.” Locally, the church has partnered with non‑profits such as the Central Okanagan Food Bank, Kelowna General Hospital, Helen’s Acres Community Farm, Green Bay Bible Camp and others. Internationally, Trinity notes that it supports over 25 organizations, helping to plant churches and provide practical and spiritual resources to communities in need.

Featured partners include Compassion Canada, International Justice Mission, the NAB Conference, Chain of Love and various community agencies. Funding is typically sourced through congregation giving and dedicated “Give to Missions” appeals, and then distributed to these partners and specific projects.

Trinity highlights concrete outcomes of this financial support. For example, in October 2024 the church sent two mission teams to El Salvador in partnership with Shelter Canada. Congregational giving exceeded the original goal of funding 30 homes, enabling the construction of 35 homes for families in need. The church also references its historic roles as a food support and evacuation centre during the 2003 Kelowna fires and as a major vaccination clinic host during the COVID‑19 pandemic, illustrating its commitment to community service and in‑kind support.

The church’s funding and mission activity primarily serves vulnerable individuals and families, both in the Kelowna area and in underserved communities abroad. Locally, the focus is on food security, healthcare support, youth and family ministries and community farms. Internationally, the emphasis is on poverty alleviation, church planting, justice initiatives and holistic community development in partnership with established NGOs and mission agencies.

Trinity Church traces its roots back to 1961 and has grown into a large congregation that describes itself as existing “to see lives transformed through God’s love.” The church operates as a self‑governing local body within the Baptist tradition, with congregational structures and a staff team overseeing ministries and missions. Its funding choices are therefore discretionary and values‑driven rather than administered as open, competitive grant programs with formal application cycles.
