About Us

A Ministry of Presence

When urban renewal leveled the old Greenbush neighborhood, the new housing projects did not include any places of worship, and so in 1978 a local ecumenical group established The Triangle Community Ministry (TCM). It is the Ministry's goal and mission to be a spiritual and social presence, ministering and reaching out to all residents. Currently, over 1000 people live in the Triangle neighborhood which is the second largest subsidized housing area in Wisconsin.

Our Mission

An ecumenical Ministry of Presence in solidarity with the residents of the Triangle Community, the ministry seeks to make visible the Word by assisting and supporting the Triangle residents in their physical, emotional, and spiritual well being.

Whole Person Care

Situated in the heart of Madison's Triangle neighborhood, TCM believes that the recognition of a person's unique value and strength empowers him/her to contribute positively to the larger community. The TCM team includes a Pastor/Director, Community Parish Nurse, Volunteer Coordinator and an office support staff. We work together with indivicuals and groups in the neighborhood to build the kind of connections that promote the personal dignity and responsibility of all community members.
