Lets look at it from this angle. Could you labor with a Trinitarian? If not why?

Absolutely, YES! I do and I have! And I don't have to compromise who I am or what I believe. I am simply tolerant and respectful of where they are right now. Might just be God's will that I'm in their life......and vice versa.
Also, I teach very little about the end times. In fact, I'm finishing up a 3 week series on the end times tomorrow, which is the first time I've done it since '04. I major on godly living NOW, not on what may or may not happen according to someone's end time "clock." IMO, it's majoring on the minors. The most important thing is living for Him and being ready for His coming; not being able to score an "A" in eschatology.
Actually, I don't have any confusion about the end times in the church I pastor. I try to put things into perspective and major on the Christ-like life. With Jesus in the center, the rest of the issues aren't "fought" about. Discussed? Yes. Fought over? No.
