MATTHEW 25︱SERVING THE UNDERSERVED

Our Outreach Ministries

  • Left-Hand Blessing Box

    “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” (Mt. 6:3) Our food pantry, located outside our church, is open to anyone in need. It’s available 24-hours a day.

  • Giving Garden

    The Giving Garden is a working garden through which we offer fresh produce for the hungry in our community. It’s also a place for gather for fellowship, discipleship, and learning about creation care.

  • Partnership with Reality Ministries

    We partner regularly with Reality Ministries which fosters friendships amongst people of all abilities marked by mutuality, authenticity and the reality of Christ’s love for all. Visit the Reality Ministries website to learn more.

  • Partnership with Focus on the Fathers

    For nearly 15 years we have partnered with the Chatham County Department of Health to support the Focus on the Fathers program. This program helps men who are in need of skills and encouragement they need to raise their children. Here they receive help goal setting, earning their GED, parenting classes, child development, even how to play with their children.

  • Pregnancy Support Services

    In alignment with our commitment to mercy, justice, and reconciliation, Holy Trinity Anglican Church sees a natural partnership opportunity with Pregnancy Support Services (PSS) of Chapel Hill. PSS’s mission to offer help and hope to women facing unplanned pregnancies resonates deeply with our Matthew 25 vision of serving “the least of these” with compassion and dignity. 

  • Justice & Reconciliation

    Inspired by the reconciling work of Christ, we are committed to fostering healing across divisions. This includes racial reconciliation, advocacy for equity, affordable housing, and cultivating spaces for honest dialogue and mutual understanding with our neighbors and friends, especially in the generational Black community. The J&R team has helped to establish an NC Civil Rights Marker outside our church; and partners with PeeWee Homes, Equity 4 Education, and the Slave Cemetery Project

Vision & Purpose

Holy Trinity has an array of outreach initiatives which align with the core values of M25. These initiatives include:

  • Focus on the Fathers

  • Local Outreach (Blessing Box, Giving Garden, and more)

  • Justice & Reconciliation

  • Pregnancy Support Services

The Holy Trinity M25 Leadership Team oversees these initiatives through prayerful discernment and collaborative decision-making. Composed of leaders and members from each outreach team, they ensure our outreach efforts remain faithful to Christ's call while responding effectively to needs in our community. Current M25 Leadership Team members:

Since our beginning in 2012, Holy Trinity has sought to embody Christ’s love and reconciliation in our community. We have been committed to incarnational ministry through discipleship and formation by inviting congregants into sacrificial love, proximity to suffering, and active peacemaking through resources that equip the local church.

In 2026, aligned our outreach ministries with the Matthew 25 Initiative (M25). M25 is an initiative of our province, which envisions an Anglican expression of justice and mercy in every ACNA parish across North America, equipping and sustaining Anglicans who serve alongside the vulnerable. Inspired by Jesus’ call in Matthew 25 to care for “the least of these,” it fosters compassionate ministry that embodies Christ’s love in broken places that he revealed preeminently in his Incarnation. Matthew 25’s core values are listed below and we aspire to integrate these into our mission to this community. See more on the ACNA’s Matthew 25 Initiative website.

How we fulfill this vision at Holy Trinity:

  • Establish loving and dignifying relationships with our neighbors.

  • Share the Gospel’s message of hope in word and action.

  • Be generous with our time, talents and resources, as God has been to us.

  • Partner with local ministries to provide service opportunities that address material and spiritual poverty.

M25i Core Values

  • Rooted in the belief that God came near in Jesus, M25i emphasizes proximity—being present with those who suffer, rather than offering distant solutions. 

  • The initiative promotes holistic care that addresses both immediate needs and systemic injustices, reflecting God’s heart for righteousness and compassion. 

  • M25i supports ministries that foster healing across racial, social, and economic divides, participating in God’s work of restoring relationships. 

  • Recognizing the emotional and spiritual toll of outreach work, M25i provides refreshment and support for caregivers to help them endure and thrive. 

  • M25i builds networks among churches, nonprofits, and individuals engaged in outreach, encouraging shared learning and mutual encouragement. 

  • Inspired by the life and suffering of Christ, M25i calls Anglicans to a life shaped by sacrificial love and solidarity with the poor and oppressed.
