Welcome to Trinity Anglican Church
The Christ Followers of the first few centuries proclaimed the good news of new life in Jesus to a dark and hopeless world. They were devoted to prayer and Holy Communion, they cared for the poor and healed the sick, and they lived virtuous lives. They didn't try to fit in with the pagan world around them, and they had no interest in appeasing the state. They loved and followed Jesus, many even to their death.
By the early second century their faith in Christ spread throughout the entire Roman empire, even as far as Great Britain. It was from that fertile Celtic ground that the rich Anglican tradition sprouted, formed throughout the centuries by saints like Anselm, Julian of Norwich, Thomas Cranmer, John Henry Newman and C.S Lewis. Our church values Scripture, Tradition, and Reason.
This is the pattern of Faith we, at Trinity Anglican Church, hope to live out. We endeavor to be more than just a church, but a community of believers who authentically share a common life of prayer, worship, and service. Come and see.

Trinity at a glance:
With a heavy emphasis on Prayer and Mission, we offer a genuine community committed to Jesus for the sake of the world. For us this means Reboot Combat Recovery for our veterans, and Deep Recovery Course for those struggling with life-controlling issues. This commitment is reflected in our Thrift Store in the thousands of pounds of clothing we give away, it is in the meals we prepare for the needy and more! We are a Parish on Purpose!

What we think is important;
We Believe that the Christian church and our society are at a cross-roads, so:
We believe that we need to recover a sense of beauty, majesty and the sacred in worship. We need a church culture that inspires and elevates, that reconnects our lives to the Mysterium Tremendum (the "Great Mystery" that is God Almighty).
We believe that we need to recover “spiritual formation” and the classical virtues like chastity, temperance, courage, charity, and humility. This is an intentional process and requires a rule of life that includes worship, spiritual direction, and a habit of prayer.
We believe that science and religion are not opposed to one another, but that a robust understanding of the Christian faith can stand up to scrutiny and that science without religion has no guiding ethics.
We believe that the Church is called to be a sign of contradiction (as Christ was) in our society, As our society moves further from God we are not to chase it or conform to it, we are to maintain a Biblical witness and historic worship as a witness to the truth.
We believe that the Church is important, and that you can't be "spiritual" without being religious. In other words, you can't be truly spiritual without practicing spiritual disciplines and living out your faith within the context of the believing fellowship, the sacraments, and the world.
We believe that the Kingdom of God transcends political party. The Christian faith ought to "trouble" conservatives and progressives, republicans and democrats. When we place the gospel before our politics or ideologies we can truly be a prophetic voice to the world.
We believe that we are called to love all people and serve them, not judge them. This love accepts people as they are, preaches the gospel of "repentance and faith in the son of God", and then trusts the Holy Spirit to change people more and more into the image of Christ.
