Trinity Trek

Announcing "The Trinity Trek" Walking Program at East Orrington Congregational Church

East Orrington Congregational Church is excited to introduce The Trinity Trek, a new walking program designed to promote physical wellness, spiritual growth, and fellowship. This innovative program invites participants of all ages and fitness levels to embark on a journey that mirrors the 3,125 miles Jesus is believed to have walked during His three-year ministry. By walking 3 miles a day or 6,500 steps per day, participants will not only engage in healthy physical activity but will also have the opportunity to reflect on their faith, build connections with fellow believers, and experience the joy of intentional daily walks with Jesus as His modern-day disciples.

The Purpose of The Trinity Trek

At its core, The Trinity Trek is about more than just walking—it’s about taking intentional steps toward spiritual and physical well-being. This program is designed with several key goals in mind:

  1. Stewardship of Our Bodies
    As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of the gifts God has given us, including our bodies. The Trinity Trek provides an opportunity to take an active role in caring for our physical health. Walking each day promotes cardiovascular health, improves mental well-being, and increases energy—all while connecting us with our Creator. By participating in this program, we honor our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.

  2. An Intentional Daily Walk with Jesus
    Jesus walked the earth to minister to others, and through this walking program, we aim to replicate His example. Walking each day is a reminder that we are not alone in our journey. By taking a daily walk, we intentionally invite Jesus to walk alongside us, reflecting on His ministry, teachings, and presence in our lives. The Trinity Trek encourages participants to embrace the rhythm of daily walking as a spiritual discipline, growing closer to Christ each step of the way.

  3. Building Fellowship Through Walking Groups
    Walking is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, and the Trinity Trek makes fellowship a key part of the experience. Whether walking with family, friends, or fellow church members, participants will have the chance to share stories, pray together, and build meaningful relationships. Walking in small groups fosters a sense of community, encouragement, and mutual support as we all move toward a common goal.

Milestones and Accomplishments

Throughout the program, participants will have the chance to celebrate various milestones, turning the physical act of walking into a meaningful spiritual journey. One such milestone is the Nazareth Walk, which celebrates the completion of 90 miles—the approximate distance between Nazareth and Jerusalem. Completing this milestone will mark an important step in your journey, recognizing not only the physical distance covered but also the spiritual progress made.

Additionally, there will be opportunities to recognize other achievements along the way, such as:

  • The Galilee Walk (a milestone for reaching 50 miles)

  • The Crossroads Challenge (a fun competition where participants can challenge one another to keep walking consistently)

These milestones and others as they’re created are designed to keep you motivated and to remind you that each step, no matter how small, is a part of a larger, purposeful journey.

How to Participate

The goal of The Trinity Trek is simple: walk 3 miles a day, or 6,500 steps per day, to complete the 3,125-mile journey over the course of three years. Whether you’re walking for your health, for your faith, or for both, the program encourages you to walk at your own pace. The Trinity Trek is adaptable for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned walker or just beginning your fitness journey.

For those who prefer a little extra encouragement, there will be opportunities to challenge one another. Participants can set up friendly competitions, encouraging each other to stay consistent, hit new milestones, and share the experience of this rewarding journey.
