Missions
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whole shall I send? And who will go for us?’ and I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!” -Isaiah 6:8
Joining Hands With God
Trinity Baptist joins hands with God by supporting career missionaries through the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the North American Missions Board, the International Missions Board, and North Carolina Baptists on Mission and by doing missions as a congregation with various partners responding to God’s call.
We believe that sharing in the Good News (gospel) of the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ is the responsibility and privilege of every member. Evangelism and missions encompass reaching out to the whole person – spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. We cooperate with other Christians in taking the gospel to our homes, our community, and wherever God leads.
Isaiah 6:1-8; Matthew 28-19-20; & Acts 1:8
Our Mission Philosophy
We believe that sharing the Good News of Jesus is the responsibility and joy of every believer-locally nationally, and globally. Evangelism and missions reach the whole person: spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Disaster Relief & Recovery
Disaster Relief
Disaster Relief is done immediately – removing trees and debris from dwellings, placing tarps on leaking roofs, tearing out wet carpet/flooring, cabinets, sheetrock, and removing ruined personal belongings and furniture. Other volunteers also provide childcare, cook meals, deliver water, wash and dry clothing, and provide medical assistance. During this phase, much is done to listen to the stories of victims, assure them of God’s presence with them “through the storms of life,” pray with them, and when open, sharing a witness to the good news of Jesus Christ.
Trinity has been involved in this Relief mission in Tarboro, Grifton, Canton, Atlantic, Edenton, High Point, and Raleigh (all in NC), Melbourne, FL; Mobile, AL; Bayou La Batre, AL; Metarie, LA, and Gulfport, MS (120 different volunteers over 2 years after Hurricane Katrina).
Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery continues long after Relief has finished, to help families rebuild their homes and lives. Teams of volunteers (both skilled and unskilled) provide materials, labor, and hope. After Hurricane Katrina, Trinity (and thousands of other NC Baptists) committed teams of workers for two years following the storm to help the residents of Gulfport, MS get back on their feet. Trinity has also been involved in this Recovery mission in Atlantic, NC.
NC Baptist on Mission offers annual training in Disaster Relief/Recovery all across our state. Trinity has over 50 trained volunteers thus far in Recovery, Mass-Feeding, Childcare, and Chaplaincy, with several trained Crew Chiefs. The church has also purchased and uniquely outfitted two Disaster Relief Trailers – one for Relief/tear out, and one for Recovery/rebuild. These are maintained and ready to roll by a Trinity Disaster Relief Lead Team.
Family Promise
Family Promise of the Triangle began in 1994 providing church-based emergency shelter and meals to Wake County families experiencing homelessness.
They now have programs in prevention, emergency shelter, post-shelter stabilization, rapid rehousing, traditional housing, and a New Lease on Life. All these programs help to accomplish their mission to end homelessness in the Triangle.
Churches participate in the Family Promise ministry by providing food and sponsoring activities for families in emergency shelter.
Feed the Hunger
Trinity partners with Feed the Hunger, a North Carolina–based organization dedicated to meeting both physical and spiritual needs around the world. Feed the Hunger equips churches to provide nutritious meals and share the Gospel with those living in extreme poverty. Each year, Trinity hosts a hands-on meal-packing event in our Fellowship Hall, where volunteers of all ages assemble thousands of meals that are distributed through Feed the Hunger’s international partner churches. In 2025, Trinity packed 24,000 meals, each one a tangible expression of God’s love and provision.
Global Missions
Trinity Baptist Church follows the great commission of Jesus to take the gospel to all the world through our involvement in Global Missions. We support not only career missionaries through our World Missions Offerings, but we also partner with missionaries around the world by sending teams on international mission trips. Our primary partners for international mission work are the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Baptist on Mission of North Carolina.
In 2026, mission trips are being planned for Guatemala, where a construction team will work at the Good Shepherd Center and Good Shepherd Children’s Home, and Kenya, where a team of educators will work through the Orbit Village Project.
Habitat for Humanity
Partnering through Raleigh Baptist Association and with Wake Missionary Baptist Association, Trinity is one of the many member churches making up the Baptist Coalition of Habitat for Humanity of Wake County. Each year, one to two new homes are built with and for our neighbors. Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older.
McCreary County Kentucky Partnership
Launched in 2001, “Together for Hope” (TFH), the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship’s “Rural Poverty Initiative,” is a long-term commitment to work with people in the nation’s 20 poorest counties to affect change and break the cycle of economic disparity. The ministry is about establishing long-term relationships, listening, learning, and walking alongside local leaders. The hope is that communities will be transformed as will the churches and individuals who live in these 20 counties.
Trinity has committed to serving in McCreary County, KY, the closest of the 20 counties to Raleigh.
Our newest partnership in McCreary County connects our missions teams with the ministry of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, Crossroads Community Church, and the ministries of Grant and Gina Hasty. Through this partnership Trinity supports The Light Community, a tiny house community providing care and support to those in recovery, and The Lord’s Cafe, a ministry that feeds body and soul.
Trinity’s National Mission Team plans several trips to support these wonderful missionaries, ministers, and ministries throughout the year.
Mobile Dental Bus Ministry
The mission of the Baptists on Mission Mobile Dental Unit is to provide compassionate care to those not able to afford dental care and to meet human needs in Jesus’s name. Trinity is blessed to sponsor the Mobile Dental Bus in our community twice a year, often for one of our mission partners. Our members are involved by donating needed items that are distributed during the event
National Missions
The mission of the National Missions Lead Team is to encourage TBC’s congregation to join hands with God in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ by partnering with Christian missions based outside of North Carolina and within the United States.
The NMLT fulfills its mission by:
- Proposing an annual slate of national mission opportunities drawn from offerings through the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the North American Missions Board, and North Carolina Baptists on Mission
- Providing mission opportunities that:
- broadly attract and enable participation by congregants
- build relationships with new, repeat and long-term missions partners
- encourage intergenerational participation
- foster development of participant relationships
- allow participants to contribute a variety of skills/experience
In addition to our partnership in McCreary County, Kentucky, cook teams served at Truett Camp and Conference Center and a team served with MissionLab in New Orleans in 2025.
Operation Christmas Child
The objective of this mission effort, sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse, Inc., is to collect and deliver shoe boxes filled with toys, educational supplies, and a Gospel pamphlet written in their language to children in war-torn or poverty stricken countries around the Christmas season.
TBC Shoe Box Drive
A Lead Team plans and leads promotional efforts to encourage Trinity families to touch children’s lives with the love of Christ by packing shoe boxes and bringing them to worship for dedication. Many families in the church have made this a traditional part of their Christmas giving.
Prison Alliance
Prison Alliance is a locally based ministry that provides Bibles and Christian books to prison chaplains for distribution to incarcerated men and women across the U.S. and abroad. Trinity’s role: collect new/used Bibles and Christian books, then serve at the warehouse to stamp and prepare materials for chaplains.
Raleigh Arabic Baptist Church
Raleigh Rescue Mission
The Raleigh Rescue Mission believes that each person has Sacred Value because they are created in the image of God. Through the love of Jesus, the Mission has since 1961, provided a pathway for women and men, with and without children, who are willing to work their way out of poverty and homelessness.
Through the Mission’s Child Development Center special emphasis is placed on their kids’ education and ability to thrive as adults. The Mission is locally owned and managed and is solely funded through private donations.
Serving at the Mission has for years provided Trinity members with an opportunity to combine outreach, fellowship and fun. Our presence there alone serves as needed encouragement for both residents and staff.
North Raleigh Ministries
North Raleigh Ministries (NRM) serves our community by providing practical help for neighbors facing financial hardship or food insecurity. Through rental and utility bill assistance, a Client Choice Food Market, and programs like Backpack Buddies, NRM offers Christ-centered care to families across North Raleigh.
Trinity partners with NRM throughout the year by collecting pantry items, supporting seasonal initiatives, volunteering in their food market and thrift shop, and responding to emerging needs in our city. We’re grateful to join them in helping prevent evictions, keep utilities connected, and ensure local children and families have access to healthy food.

ReDirection-NC
Redirection NC provides housing and support services to formerly justice involved women in North Carolina, facilitating a successful transition to community life. This program is grounded in the belief that with the proper assistance, those returning to the community can overcome the many barriers to successful living that incarceration experience can create. As a community advocate, Redirection NC works to restore the civil rights of people with criminal records to housing, employment, public benefits, and the right to vote.
TBC Cares Ministry
Welcome House Community Network
Welcome House Raleigh is a ministry of radical hospitality and welcome for our refugee and immigrant neighbors.
Welcome House Raleigh (WHR) is a temporary reception housing ministry for refugees and immigrants who do not have a place to live upon arrival to the United States. We provide a safe home, settlement assistance, and bridges into the community. Our main goal at WHR is to share the love of God in Christ Jesus through the ministries of hospitality and friendship.
Welcome House Raleigh is a collaborative partnership between the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina (CBFNC), refugee agencies, and partner churches, as well as individuals that provide a hospitality ministry to vulnerable neighbors in the Raleigh area.
