Our Mission
As people entrusted with the Gospel, Trinity’s Mosaic Ministries aims to advance the ministry of reconciliation and renewal by equipping students, developing resources, and creating new networks.
Mosaic Cohort Scholarship
In order to help equip servant leaders who are committed to the Gospel ministry of reconciliation, Trinity offers a scholarship to 15 first-year students from various ethnic backgrounds to embark on a cohort-based learning journey together. Scholarship recipients experience spiritual formation and leadership development through the Mosaic cohort experience and the Mosaic Gathering. We provide opportunities for like-minded mentor-to-peer and peer-to-peer relationships.
Mosaic Gathering
Each week, Mosaic invites the Trinity community to share a free lunch, receive a short talk, and engage in fruitful conversations to equip our community as ambassadors of Christ’s reconciliation in a fractured world. We engage Christian identity and mission under the biblical vision of reconciliation with prayer, biblical reflections, and social analysis. Weekly gatherings take place on our Deerfield campus, and participants include students, faculty, staff, and local pastors.
The Mosaic Initiative
Through the Mosaic Initiative (2017-present), Mosaic Ministries of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) serves as an innovation hub for twelve partnering congregations in northern Lake County, Illinois. Through prayer meetings, learning gatherings, and deepening relationships with one another, each congregation will design and launch innovative ministries for and with young adults in their congregations and communities.
As the result of this initiative, our hope is that each partnering congregation will establish a new space in their congregational life that will not only nourish young adults but will also empower them to help shape the congregation’s culture and missional impact in the community. We regularly pray for and work toward the transformation of (1) individual lives of young adults, (2) our congregations, and (3) our community.
Community Development
Mosaic Partnerships for Community Development collaborate with non-profit ministries, parachurch organizations, and schools for God’s Kingdom. Areas of service may include: Tutoring, mentoring, counseling, advocacy, housing, job readiness, coaching, literacy, jail ministry, gang outreach, business development, & more.
“The partnerships that develop in North Chicago, at Trinity, local churches and Jesus-centered ministries is the foundational key to seeing the ‘Kingdom come’ to communities that often find themselves on the fringes of society” —Local Pastor
Mosaic Partnerships for Community Development offer avenues to participate in God’s reconciling work in local neighborhoods. This complements students’ classroom education as they volunteer in schools, mentor youth, or participate in Bible studies. Students from northern Lake County attend classes on Trinity’s campus, modeling our community for others. Volunteer work is done with the goal of encouraging community development across all divisions as God’s reconciled community.
