Jesus told his followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:10). The Apostle Paul told the church that the right response to being reconciled to God is for the love of Christ to compel us to become ministers of that same reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:11-6:13). He wrote, quite pointedly, that God makes his appeal through us. As stunning as it might sound, we are the ones who have been called to herald the good news in every place and at all times-the good news that if anyone is in Christ, he or she is a new creation!

All of us are called to be ministers of reconciliation in the contexts in which we have been placed: in families, friendships, work settings, and in our neighborhoods. When we do this, we glorify God. In addition to our daily, individual responsibility to minister the gospel, and the weekly presentation of the gospel in our corporate worship, Trinity actively supports several expressions of gospel outreach in our community and in the world through both word and deed.
