Parish Resources

From Extension Ministries at Trinity School for Ministry

The Church is in need of well-trained lay people (youth through adults) who can articulate a faithful and compassionate gospel message within the context of everyday life. Extension Ministries has developed materials that will help create a mission shaped Church for our time! Trinity has six excellent education workbooks for old and young that can help you take that first step toward excellent training in your parish or ministry community.
