PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Trinity Community Ministries (TCM) has been serving Atlanta since 1981, and was founded in partnership with Trinity United Methodist Church to serve as an overnight emergency shelter. During the 1990’s, TCM evolved into a transitional residential recovery shelter with a mantra of “A Tough Program for Tough Times” and a reputation for helping men who truly wanted and were willing to work for sobriety, and self-sufficiency. In 2004, TCM entered into partnership with Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, the owners of the former Hanley Building in the Sweet Auburn District of Atlanta, where TCM’s administrative offices and Trinity House-Big Bethel programs including a 36-bed residential recovery shelter, are still housed today. TCM serves more than 100 men annually with a goal of helping homeless men reclaim their lives and return to the families and communities as mentors and leaders.
