Investing in Justice, Community, and Inclusion
For more than a century, Grace-Trinity Community Church has been an intentionally inclusive, justice-oriented community in Uptown—a place where faith fuels justice and belonging is at our core. Now, we are stepping boldly into the future with Gathering and Growing to raise $1.5 million with a vision to deepen our impact, strengthen our social justice commitments, and
expand our role as a community hub in Uptown.

Our Vision for the Future
We believe our church should be a place where people gather to worship God, build community, and share their spiritual journeys. At Grace-Trinity, we also believe that our faith extends beyond Sunday morning —it calls us to act.
The exciting news is that Grace-Trinity is growing. Our membership is increasing, our financial stability is strengthening, and our community partnerships are deepening. Now is the time to build on this momentum, so that we can remain a justice-oriented, community-focused and intentionally inclusive presence in Uptown for generations to come.
Gather and Grow for the Future
Paying off our debt will free resources to invest in what truly matters—justice, community, and inclusion.

We are committed to making Grace-Trinity a place where people can ask big questions without forcing the answers, explore their faith, and engage in worship that is meaningful, relevant, and inclusive.

Eliminate Debt
After raising money for our remodel in 2020, our remaining loan balance sits at 1 million. We want to burn the deed so that we can free up more resources to go back to the community.
