OUTREACH MINISTRIES AT LINDEN HILLS UCC
Reflecting Jesus’ words in Mark’s Gospel, an early and abiding motto of Linden
Hills Church is, “Not to be served, but to serve.” We carry out the gospel
mandate of service to others through these and other ministries:
TRUST Linden Hills UCC is an active member of TRUST, an interfaith
organization comprised of 18 religious congregations in south and south west
Minneapolis. TRUST brings congregations together in service to the
community through community programs including, Meals on Wheels,
Habitat for Humanity, Parish Nursing, Home repair, and Loaves and Fishes
(meals for isolated, low income or homeless residents of the Twins Cities)

Plymouth Congregational Church and citizens of Sierra Leone, we are in our
