At Holy Trinity Church, our history makes us who we are. Our first baptisms were performed in 1730, making our church older than America itself. We’ve voted in every single presidential election, and we’ve seen every major social and civil movement.
At Holy Trinity Church, our tradition makes us who we are. Our tradition is to be committed to the community. This commitment inspires the work we do. We are passionate about breaking barriers and helping people like you make real, life-changing connections.

During the holiday season, we pair local police officers with children who have incarcerated parents. By taking these children shopping, officers help make Christmastime merrier. The ‘Shop with a Cop’ program helps children regard police as helpful and friendly.

At Holy Trinity Church, we see each day as a chance to bridge communications gaps and build relationships with the people in our community. Every day holds the potential to touch lives.
