Trinity United Methodist Church

What Trinity United Methodist Church does

Trinity United Methodist Church is a non-profit religious congregation located at 903 Forest Avenue in Henrico, Virginia, operating as a local body of The United Methodist Church within the Virginia Conference and Three Notch'd District. Founded in 1790 with its original campus downtown in Richmond, the church has maintained continuous operation for over 235 years and currently runs with approximately 18 employees under the pastoral leadership of Brian Siegle and Daniel Guenther, with Daniel Parks serving as Director of Music Ministries. The church delivers its core offering through three Sunday worship formats — Modern Worship (9am), Traditional Worship (11am), and a Combined Summer Worship (10am, May–August) — supported by live streaming, a mobile app, weekly email, a monthly newsletter ('The Window'), and the 'Pastors in Perkatory' podcast.

Beyond Sunday services, Trinity operates a diversified ministry portfolio spanning the full life cycle: Trinity Preschool and Parents' Morning Out (established 1947, ages 1–5, powered by the Brightwheel platform for admissions, billing, and parent communication); Kids Ministry and Student Ministry; Small Groups and Bible Studies; Music Ministry; Missions (with partners including GoochlandCares and Jill's Blankets); Upward Basketball & Cheerleading (since 2008); and Joy Circle, a social-model dementia-care program. The underlying technology footprint is light — a SnapPages-hosted website, the Brightwheel SaaS integration for the preschool, live-streaming video, and a podcast distribution channel — with no proprietary platform development.

The church's revenue model relies on voluntary contributions (online, in-person, and mail tithes via a digital giving platform), supplemented by tuition from the preschool program (offered in full, two-installment, or ten-installment payment schedules with no refunds for inclement weather closures). Mission-aligned community partnerships with GoochlandCares, Jill's Blankets, Cub Pack 799, and Scout Troop 799G extend its programmatic reach, while affiliation with the UMC denominational structure provides theological and administrative support. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
