Outreach

Each year, over 10% of Tri-Village's annual budget goes to missions and outreach.  We believe that each person can make a difference.  Below is list of just a few areas in which you can volunteer.  There are also a number of areas not listed on this page that will be offered throughout the year (i.e. mission trips, Spring Service Blitz).  Check-out the Outreach Display near the Cafe for further information. 

If an individual is listed under the area, feel free to contact the person noted to become involved.  If no contact info is listed, email to begin serving.

Mission Trips
As Tri-Village grows, additional trips (both local and international are being planned).  Stay involved by either joining a current mission trip in the works or by helping to plan a new one.

Missions/Missionary Support
This consists of helping coordinate communications and support to Tri-Village's numerous missions and missionaries.  If you have skills in administration or communication, this would be a great area in which to serve.

Schools
This is one of Tri-Village's largest mission fields.  We seek to make a difference in the lives of students, teachers, and all employees of the local school district(s).  Opportunities include but aren't limited to helping in a reading program, annual cookie-drive, working on the facilities of schools (i.e. painting), school supply drives, and partnering with teachers to meet weekly needs in their classrooms. 

Special Events
Tri-Village offers several special events (i.e. Trunk or Treat) throughout the year that are "larger" in nature.  These events are always looking for volunteers and individuals willing to help with administrative details.  Tri-Village is also always looking to how to make a bigger impact in the community.

Wednesday Serve (2nd & 4th Wednesdays)
Consider joining this group if you would be interested in working on a regular basis to help with local outreach projects.  Often, the group may meet at the church organizing supplies for local organizations.  Other times the group goes out to meet needs in the community.

Other Opportunities
Angel Tree, Operation Christmas Child, and Baby Bottle Drive are just a few organizations and causes that Tri-Village participates in annually.  If you would have an interest in either helping with a collection drive or have an idea on how to make a difference, contact .
