Who we are
We extend a warm welcome to everyone. We strive to be a faithful and inclusive community, sharing the love of Jesus Christ through worship, education, and service. We worship in two historic locations: Trinity Church (1108 N. Adams Street) and Old Swedes Church (606 Church Street). We come from different backgrounds and experiences, but we come together because we’ve found things that are important to us … real relationships and a caring community. We’ve also found something so much bigger than ourselves — a way to grow a deeper relationship with God. Trinity Parish is more than our buildings. We are a group of people who come together to leave some sort of mark on the world around us. Our faith touches everything we do, and we’d like to share that with you. The Episcopal Church strives to live by the message of Christ; in this message there are no outcasts, and all are welcome. Walking a middle way between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions, we are a sacramental and worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and be as followers of Christ.
