Mel Trotter Ministries

What a memorable day it was at the Legacy Luncheon as we celebrated 125 years of Mel Trotter Ministries! We enjoyed a meal together made by our amazing culinary team, embarked on tours of the building and heard from our President/CEO, Chris Palusky. Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating! Special thanks to Becknell Family Charitable Fund for sponsoring this event. We are grateful to the Lord for guiding this Mission over the past 125 years, and we look forward to what the future holds.
