Since 1830, Trinity has been open to people of all ages who worship together and also minister to each other and those outside the parish by helping, giving, or simply being together. Our beautiful stone Gothic style building was dedicated in 1870 and consecrated by the Rt. Rev. Frederick Dan Huntington on June 16, 1875. |

Our Steer and Turner organ was added in October 1875, and to this very day adds great sound and beauty to our worship! |

But Trinity is so much more than a building…It is people!
|
Sunday School: We have a vibrant and growing program for children nursery-aged, through the Youth Group (grades 7 and up). Wisdom House: A place of welcome for people across the span of their spiritual journey, including other faith traditions. Wisdom House offers a variety of programs for dialogue, inquiry, Bible study, and other spiritual practices, such as meditation and labyrinth walks.

Worship Support: Parishioners are actively involved in a number of ways, such as choir, lectors, litanists, collection recorders, ushers, Eucharistic ministers, and serving as acolytes.
Social Gatherings: In addition to a lively Coffee Hour after each Sunday service, Trinity is a living place of fellowship during the week and throughout the year, where you will find us engaged in potluck suppers, theme nights, and events to mark special events in our lives.
Special Sales: For more than 60 years, Trinity’s legendary community Plant Sale has seen a long line forming early in the morning awaiting the opening of the doors. People come from near and far to purchase from a vast array of excellent and affordable bedding plants, gardening supplies, fertilizer, and, of course, baked goods! Trinity also holds a very popular annual Rummage Sale in the Spring, and a Book Sale in the Fall.
