Trinity Church, established in 1864, is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We cordially welcome you to worship with us, or to join us for any of the events announced on this page. You need not be a "believer"; we gladly greet and embrace seekers -- including those who are simply seeking refuge! (Life's tough sometimes, and as one of our members said, "We don't shoot our wounded.")
In fact, you have maybe come to our website as a seeker. If so, we hope it will help you in your search for a source of love and hope that can be trusted -- the God to whom we bear witness, even as we ourselves sometimes lose track of him! We offer this site to encourage and assist you on your life's journey. Likewise, we offer ourselves.
What might you expect should you come our way?
As you enter our church building, you will notice an atmosphere of worship and reverence. Your eye is carried to the altar and to the cross, and your thoughts to Christ and to God whose house this is. On and behind the altar are candles to remind us that Christ is the "Light of the world'' (John 8:12) Usually there are flowers to remind us that we "worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." (Psalm 96.9)
While we are blessed to worship in a "traditional" building of Victorian Gothic architecture, our Sunday and Wednesday Eucharists are contemporary. We think you will readily understand and appreciate that they are thanksgivings for the love of God in Christ. As stated in one of our eucharistic prayers, "We remember his death, we proclaim his resurrection, we await his coming in glory."
Properly understood, our worship reflects and rehearses us for our life in the world. Another name for worship, you see, is liturgy, from the Greek meaning both "work of the people" and "work for the people". On the one hand, all worshipers are active participants in the Eucharist, and not merely spectators. On the other hand, we are doing something in behalf of the public -- interceding in prayer and action for the world God loves.
Accordingly, Trinity involves and invests itself in the community around us. Indeed, we are a "Jubilee Ministry Center" of the Episcopal Church, and seek to serve as a "Village Church" in the manner of Church of England parish churches. We host Alcoholics Anonymous, Community Mental Health clients and activities, the Children's Concert Choir, and a weekly Sunday Supper for the hungry. We house a food pantry and provide space for the Sunrise Food Coalition. We regularly support Shelter, Inc., giving of our time and resources for this ministry to victims of domestic violence. In addition, many of us are members of boards, auxiliaries, and service clubs, volunteering our time, talent, and energy for charitable works.Our "voice" is carillon and chimes, sounding over the downtown at noon and fivemost weekdays. Our voice is also the "Village Church Concert Series," featuring varied vocal and instrumental groups six times a year. No admission is charged, since the series is sustained by a generous "Breaking New Ground" grant from the Diocese, and grateful free will offerings.
There's much more you might expect, of course. We hope the other pages on our website, and our links to other sites, will help in this regard. More than this, we hope that in person you will find among us a real presence more helpful than any "virtual reality" a website can offer. 
Sincerely,
Bruce Michaud, Rector
