Update: February 2022
Commerical Kitchen Upgrades:
Our present kitchen is inadequate. From the beginning of the meal preparation to the end of service, opportunities abound to improve efficiency, food safety, and food quality. In addition, a well-designed kitchen would make it easier to nurture Trinity community with easier to produce events like pancake supper, or Sunday brunch, or choir dinners.
- Stovetop: small burner size means it takes at least 30-60 minutes to boil large quantities of water (for example for pasta) or sauté large quantities of onions, meats, etc
- Food Safety: having two ovens will make it easier to ensure proper food temperature is reached in a short period of time.
- Washing stations: hard to process large amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables
- Storage: from garbage cans, to tables and chairs, to coffee urns, and sheet pans, nothing is designed for commercial storage
- Environment: we would love to move away from disposable plates and cups when we return to sit-down meals. We did move to stainless cutlery in 2019 which saved a ton of plastic, but frankly it is a lot of work to wash and we waste a lot of water. The current dishwasher does not enable us to do plates and cups.. A commercial dishwasher can run a cycle in minutes – and the dishes are already racked and easy to put away for the next use.
Collaborating with 2 Hands Studio, Trimark Food Service and Behan Brothers, Trinity will construct a commercial kitchen to address these challenges.

What we need to do:
As we contemplate the contemporary needs of individuals in Newport looking for spiritual growth and confronting pressing challenges, we know that we must focus on expanding our services to the community by:
