Current Ministry Groups

HOUSE CHURCHES AND MARKS GROUPS

2024-25 Groups are listed below!

To learn more about our ministry groups, click here.

House Churches incorporate Nurture (Study), Worship, and Fellowship alongside their Mission Focus. House Churches covenant together for one year, and each year re-evaluate the call. 
The House Church completes a covenant, which can be 
downloaded here.


Sanctuary- Ministers to our immigrant neighbors. Sanctuary advocates for immigrants and those who are disenfranchised.  The HC supports a family, which includes a child with a disability, from Honduras. The four marks of the church are central to the group’s life together. Our group typically meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 at the Church House or at member's homes. Contact Rick Orem.  


Marks Groups incorporate one or more of the four marks (nurture, worship, fellowship, and mission), but have a less formal structure. Some are on-going while others may be short-term.

Reaching Out  - Honors the four marks of the church at each meeting. We support other house churches and marks groups in their identified missions, reach out in love to church members, and respond to community needs, as we are able. Our group meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 10am, typically in the Yoke Room. Contact Melodie Davis.

Centering Space - Provides offerings of Contemplation, Action, Renewal, and Expression to nurture the inward/outward journey for individuals and for the wider community through acts of hospitality: the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy; not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place.  Our next meeting is October 22 in the Centering Space. Contact Teresa Harris or Mary Lou McMillin

Clothes Closet - Provides clothes to those in need.  The Marks Group strives to meet the real needs beyond just the need for clothes of our neighbors in the Harrisonburg, Rockingham County area. The Clothes Closet is open Wednesday evenings. Contact Kathy Gillette

Hearts and Hands -  Sharing prayer shawls, scarves, lap robes, stoles, and “shoo” boxes with persons of all ages, at Trinity and with the wider community, even across the world.  Meetings are  on the 3rd Monday of each month by Zoom.  Contact Linda Bradley for the Zoom Link.

Backpack Program - The Backpack Marks Group helps families of food insecure students at Keister and Bluestone Elementary Schools. We pack the bags at 9 am on Thursdays at Keister. Volunteers are also needed to deliver food bags to homes on Friday afternoons. See the church calendar for a link to sign up, or contact Dane Byers for more information
