Pro-Life Mission Trip: Feb 27 – Mar 7, 2026

Created Equal’s Justice Ride is a pro-life mission trip for college-aged individuals and high school students. First, participants are equipped to use everyday dialogue to rescue babies from abortion and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Next, we travel by bus to Florida, where we put these skills into practice with real dialogue on college campuses. Dates: Feb 27 – Mar 7, 2026. Find out more and apply at JusticeRide.org.

Borrow a DVD or CD

To make the process more convenient, you can now place your order on our website.

Google Groups

Sign up here for Google Groups. We will use this platform to receive and distribute prayer requests. If you signed up to receive prayer requests from our Google Groups, check your spam folder to make sure they aren’t ending up there. Gmail users may want to change their settings so that these emails will go to the Primary Inbox instead of Promotions or Newsletters. Once you sign up, you can also distribute prayer requests by emailing them to trinity-evangelical-church@googlegroups.com. Please do not fill out the form if you have already signed up.

Helpful to Know

• We now have assistive hearing devices for those who would benefit from one. See the person running the soundboard and he will fix you up.

• If you prefer to mail your contributions, please send them to PO Box 296, Markle, IN 46770. This is the most secure way to send mail to the church.

• If you are scheduled for nursery and are unable to attend, please do not use Facebook to find a fill-in. Instead, check the assignment schedule and simply trade with someone who might be available. If needed, contact Ben or Steffanie Powers.

• If you find that you are not getting weekly emails from the church, then two things are possible: 1) your email manager is tagging our emails as promotions. If so, you’ll need to change that in your settings; 2) our service received an “unsubscribe” notice from your email address (possibly the result of an anti-spam service). If so, only the user can restore it. Simply go to this link and sign back up.
