Each Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:00, they meet for Bible study and fellowship. This is an excellent opportunity to be involved in the lives of children from another culture, as the majority of the children are Moldovan. Volunteers and donations are always welcome. Contact Elaine Bonner at 299-3433, extension 304 for more information. New City Christian School New City is a private full day academic school and an after-school tutoring program in its first full year. Its focus is on children with significant learning gaps, particularly low income ones in the Livingston Street project area. There are six board members, one kindergarten teacher, one assistant, and many volunteers. This is a great ministry opportunity to school-aged kids and their families right here in Asheville. Many Trinity families are already involved. You can join us in prayer, time, and gifts. Coral Jeffries is the founder and contact person for questions. Habitat for Humanity Asheville Habitat Site Habitat is a nonprofit ministry dedicated to building simple, decent houses with community volunteers in partnership with qualified families currently living in inadequate housing.

Asheville Buncombe Christian Community Ministry ABCCM Founded in 1969 by eight Buncombe County Churches, ABCCM is now a cooperative ministry of more than 220 churches accomplishing what individual congregations cannot accomplish alone.
