Chinle Planting Hope is an engaged organization that equips Native Americans to pursue God’s love and justice. Their teams build community with dignity and hope.
Consider the Spiritual Disciplines of the Christian faith, service and simplicity. As Trinity Heights UMC Missions committee, we’ve designed ways for you to live out these Spiritual Disciplines! These options allow you to easily and directly support Chinle Planting Hope’s summer garage sale. The proceeds of this sale will fund their projects and bring essential goods to their community. We invite you to employ these practices through blessing the Chinle Planting Hope team.
Option 1: Donate one item a day, 40 items in all, to give to Chinle Planting Hope for their annual yard sale or give ten items a day!
Option 2: Donate 25 cents each day (a total of $10) to help transport the items to Chinle.

The Trinity Heights Assistance Program helps individuals or families who are in need of financial assistance, most often in the form of gas vouchers and grocery cards. Although we try our best to meet the most immediate need, we also seek to meet those needs that will best help these individuals or families in the long term.
The monies given through the Assistance Program come from members and regular attendees of our congregation regular attendees. Although we accept donations throughout the year, a special offering is gathered every year on Christmas Eve, especially for the Assistance Program. It is with this generosity that Trinity Heights is able to reach to those in need within our own community.

Each year, Trinity Heights pays annual apportionments to The United Methodist Church. “Together, through our connected congregations, we accomplish what no single church, district or annual conference ever could hope to do alone.” Apportionment dollars support the work of The United Methodist Church worldwide, including many designated mission and outreach funds and ministries of The United Methodist Church.

When disasters strike or communities face ongoing hardship, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is there to provide hope, relief, and long-term recovery. UMCOR responds to natural disasters, humanitarian crises, refugees, hunger, clean water initiatives, and sustainable development projects around the world.
One of the unique strengths of UMCOR is that 100% of every gift designated for a specific UMCOR project goes directly to that project. Administrative costs are covered through the United Methodist Church's connectional giving, including a portion of our apportionments, allowing designated donations to have their full impact.
Throughout the year, Trinity Heights also receives special offerings for UMCOR's work, providing opportunities to respond to disasters, support emergency relief, and help communities rebuild with dignity and hope.
Together, through our apportionments and special offerings, we extend Christ's love beyond our local community to people in need across the globe.

Flagstaff Family Food Center is a local gem within our own community that provides nutritional meals in a safe, pleasant environment and assists children with reading, homework, and social skills. One Sunday each month, a group of volunteers from Trinity Heights give their time to the Flagstaff Family Food Center and help with preparing food, setting up for meals, or serving.
-
We support our local Habitat for Humanity, including helping the organization to fund no-interest loans to families in our immediate neighborhoods to pay for needed improvements to existing homes, such as new roofs. Members of our church serve on Habitat teams, and others help to provide lunches for teams building homes.

Trinity Heights is proud to partner with Puente de Hózhó Community School, a public charter school in Flagstaff that serves students and families through a culturally responsive approach to education. Throughout the year, we support the school by collecting school supplies and backpacks, helping ensure students begin the school year with the tools they need to succeed.
We also partner with the school to support food assistance programs, helping provide meals and essential resources for families experiencing food insecurity. Through these efforts, we seek to invest in the well-being of children and families in our community, demonstrating God's love in practical and meaningful ways.
