Our Mission

We are committed in Christ to serve humanity in the most effective legal manner possible by delivering the racial and social justice necessary to liberate all of God’s people.

We affirm through our adherence to the practice of ‘Liberation Theology’ or the Biblical vision of divine revelation that tells us that God identifies wholly with the liberation of oppressed peoples from worldly oppression. As African Americans in the United Church of Christ ("UCC"), we seek to affirm that God is a God of Justice for all people. "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" (John 8:32).

Our Purpose

The Legal Counseling Ministry's purpose is to nurture the spiritual growth and development of Christian attorneys and other professionals in the social justice system; to assist in the professional development and career growth of our members; and to provide legal assistance to the Trinity community.

To Accomplish Our Purpose

The Legal Counseling Ministry meets every second Thursday of each month, except during summer hiatus (July-August). We keep the Trinity legal community abreast of personal and professional development opportunities. We serve our church, congregants and community by tithing our time through numerous ministry service opportunities. We welcome your presence in our monthly meetings and look forward to your sharing of ideas, knowledge and/or expertise that you may have regarding the ministry, professional development and/or service opportunities. "He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8 (NIV)).
