Who we are
The Church of the Holy Trinity is the oldest Episcopal Church in the city of Lincoln. Originally we were established in May of 1869 as the first Episcopal Church in the new capital city of the new state of Nebraska. The church was formerly located at 12th and J Streets on what is now the Lincoln Mall midway between the State Capital and the County-City Building. In January of 1957, a disastrous fire totally destroyed the beautiful red sandstone house of worship.
Following the fire, after much prayer, research, and no small amount of debate, it was decided to relocate the church. On June 29, 1958, ground was broken at our current location on A Street, at that time the far eastern edge of the city. On Sunday, November 16, 1958, we celebrated the laying of the cornerstone for the new church building. Appropriately, the original cornerstone of Holy Trinity at 12th and J Streets was included with that of the new building in East Lincoln. This was done as a physical expression of the spiritual unity between the former and present eras in the history of our church community.

Help me to avoid every sin
Thanks to Thee, O God, that I have risen today, To the rising of this life itself; may it be to Thine own glory, O God of every gift, and to the glory, aid Thou my soul. With the aiding of Thine own mercy, even as I clothe my body with wool, cover Thou my soul with the shadow of Thy wing. Help me to avoid every sin, and the source of every sin to forsake, and as the mist scatters on the crest of the hills, may each ill haze clear from my soul, O God.
