A multi-program community ministry with focus on our youth at a restored Trinity Claiborne facility will provide a foundation upon which the Lower Ninth Ward can build its future as a vibrant and healthy community. Furthermore, by joining Camp Restore volunteers and students from the Concordia University System in partnership with the local community, Trinity-Claiborne will serve as a catalyst for uniting Americans of all backgrounds in the development of Christian community as an answer to our nation’s toughest challenges.
On Friday, June 25, more than 75 people gathered at Immanuel Lutheran in Crystal Lake, Illinois to kickoff the Campaign to Restore Trinity Claiborne, a church in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. Pastor Aubrey Watson, who will be leading the effort, gave a powerful testimonial to the group about what it's like to see your church completely destroyed. Pastor Watson is building support among former Trinity members, residents of the Lower Ninth and the Lutheran clergy of New Orleans to join forces on this effort. The Chicago Area Mission Partnership, an informal group of several churches from the NW suburbs of Chicago, is wholly committed to this project and will be fundraising and recruiting volunteers for this project.
