In 1995 Trinity began an outreach to an inner-city Charlottesville community through a ministry called Abundant Life. Charlottesville Abundant Life Ministries (CALM) is a partnership among the residents of the Prospect Avenue neighborhood (including Blue Ridge Commons Apartments, Prospect & Orangedale Avenues, and Bailey Road), local churches and Trinity. Together, we desire to address spiritual, educational and economic needs by offering Christ-centered programs and by sharing our lives together. Almost 100 children and more than 100 volunteers and staff members are involved in weekly meetings—tutoring, mentoring, eating dinners together, learning the Bible, playing basketball, going on field trips, praying and just hanging out together.
In other areas of local outreach, Trinity supports the following ministries:
Bethany Christian Services,
