The Beginning

In 2005, we participated as volunteers in a missing person search. During that search we saw first hand how much of an impact a volunteer organization can have in helping the families of missing persons. It was only a few short months later that we found ourselves organizing and leading a search and recovery effort for another family. After many hours of prayer and discussion we decided to continue our efforts in a more formal way and created Trinity Search & Recovery. We have been helping families of missing persons ever since. We passionately believe "that no one should be lost forever" and are are committed to this ministry. We feel that God has His hand in each & every case in which we are involved.

Currently we are only taking on cases in California, but as our organization and budget expands, so will our ability to branch out to other states.

What We Do

When we are contacted about a case (by the family, through other Search and Recovery organizations, etc.) AND are asked to do so, we begin organizing search efforts. Some of the resources we can provide are as follows:

  • Complete Search Planning, Management & Logistics
  • CPR/First Aid certified volunteers
  • Volunteer Ground Searches
  • Aerial Searches
  • Aerial Photography
  • Water Searches
  • Coordination of travel arrangements for families and volunteers
  • Counseling services
  • Private flight services (in some cases)
  • Media coordination
  • Coordination with other agencies for rewards
  • Coordination with Law Enforcement
