Trinity Saints – We are two churches, one parish, united to love God and one another. Our growing congregation is characterised by a commitment to Christ in compassion, companionship, creativity and collective action. We hope to see our mission in action as our congregation grows younger and larger in size, strength, and diversity.

We will increase engagement with local communities and give opportunities for all to lead, develop, and grow.

Collectively, as believers, we can create change in our communities.

As believers and people of Faith, we have two powerful weapons: the word of God and prayer. We often forget the power of prayer, but we also know that when we join together, God will hear and answer our prayers.

Once we've prayed, we must remember that 'prayer without action is dead' (James 2:14-26), and we need to join together to create lasting change, become beacons of light in the community and sit in positions of influence for the youth and their future.

Trinity Saints United is situated in the London Borough of Hackney. In 2023, the borough appeared in the top five most dangerous areas to live in, with a crime rate 14% higher than the regional and 30% higher than the national average. Antisocial behaviour, burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence, and sexual offences are reported highest across the crime categories.

At the end of the last year, Dec 2023, Hackney experienced tragedy with four murders in the area. This has led to an outpour of pain and heartache and no doubt will have long-lasting effects on the families and community members. At the same time, young people's mental health services are experiencing overwhelming referrals for anxiety and depression-related issues; waiting times have increased by four.

We are committed to creating change for the next generation by supporting families and young people in Hackney. Although it is one of the most economically deprived boroughs in London, that doesn't stop us from leaning in and mentoring children so that they can grow and be empowered to change their lives and communities.
