About Trinity Memorial Church
Trinity Memorial Church was founded as Trinity Church, and renamed shortly after its founding to Trinity Memorial Church to recognize the generosity of its founding families. The cornerstone to our present, the parish's second church building, was laid in 1895. Our campus has since expanded to include a Parish House, a Gym, and Trinity House (on Oak Street). From the days of its founding, Trinity Memorial has been open and welcoming to all: in our parish's very early days, this meant that we did not discriminate on account of economic status. Since those days, our cordial welcome has grown to explicitly include persons of any race, gender, or sexual orientation. If you seek a relationship with God, we invite you to join your journey with ours.
Growing in our Faith
"Great Jehovah, great Jehovah,
form our hearts and make them thine."
From Hymn 368, " Holy Father, great Creator," Stanza 4, Hymnal 1982
For grown-ups
Most Sundays from September through June, we get together for a Forum: our Forums cover a wide variety of topics: our Christian Faith, the history of theChristian Church in the world, different expressions of our shared Christian faith; environmental, social, racial and economic justice; and sometimes we have just plain fun.
​
Our Forum discussion meetings are considered a safe space for sharing; they are usually accessible live via TrinityZoom.org, Selected Forum discussions, edited to preserve our safe space, are available on YouTube.
For new members and visitors
We offer confirmation classe for any and all: visitors, new members, prospective members, or simply anyone wishing to refresh or deepen their understanding of our shared faith in the Episcopalian tradition.
For our youngest members
COVID-19 forced us to suspend our Sunday school, for the health and safety of our youngest members. As we find our way into a new, post-pandemic normal, we hope to be able to offer this education for our youngest members again.
Self-Assessment
In the Fall of 2024, we asked our members to reflect on four questions:
What initially attracted you to attend Trinity church?
Describe what aspects of Trinity you find most meaningful and impactful in your spiritual journey.
How does attending Trinity influence your daily, personal life and faith?
How do Trinity's community, outreach efforts, and support advance our mission? Are there other initiatives you'd like to see?
Here is a summary, of the responses offered by our Trinity family:
The Trinity Church community serves as a cornerstone for a shared spiritual journey uniting members through music, liturgy, fellowship and inspiring messages.
On a personal level, it is a safe place for all where we find hope and peace, and where we feel love and support. Each week, we leave refreshed with renewed strength for the journey ahead.
Our vision extends outward, putting faith into action through numerous outreach programs, including food bank, community canteen, our ACA partnership and congregational care initiatives.
Our community values our worship rituals, it also recognizes there are many ways to experience our faith. Our priest's messaging feeds our need to understand how the history and laws from another time can guide us in a modern world and lead us to a deeper understanding of Christ's message and invitation.
