Virginia Mennonite Board of Mission (Mennonite Church) work in Trinidad began in June 1969 with a weekly Way to Life radio broadcast. This was followed by medical work with victims of Hansen's disease (leprosy). The first public worship service was held in Diego Martin on 23 June 1974. This group became the first established congregation. On 4 December 1983, a second congregation formed in Cunupia. Additional outreach occurred in Charlieville, Las Lomas no. 1, and Brother's Road. People of African, Chinese, and Indian ancestry have been joined in a common bond in Christ. There has been a strong emphasis on local leadership with Trinidadian teaching, preaching, leading worship, guiding youth groups, and involved in decision making. Membership in 1987 was 77; in 2003 it was 130; in 2009 it was 270.
