Welcome |
Most people know us as the pretty
stone church on the Hill. We are so much more! |
What our members and visitors say:
|
"We came from an evangelical church and knew it was time for a change. Trinity, and the Anglican pattern of worship we discovered there really appealed to us. As a younger family, It took a little time to get adjusted, but once we did we appreciated it more and more! It seemed more...grounded. We also appreciated how the Faith was presented more deeply and generously. Now we are leading a Bible study there."
"I was very involved in the Roman Catholic church for years but felt I could not remain there. I was looking for a church that was spiritually alive and still featured Holy Communion each week. My Son in law said, "I know! You need an Anglican Church!" and found Trinity for me. As soon as I visited I knew I was home! My faith is growing and I am so involved in the church. I'm so thankful for my Trinity family!" "I'm a long time member here and really appreciate the direction the church is going. We are engaged in the community in ways we have never been before. We are helping our veterans. That is something that is very important to me." |
"I drove by and saw they had a recovery meeting and I was looking to return to church. From the moment I walked in everyone was so welcoming. I immediately felt at home! I love this place!"
"We were looking for a church where our kids could get solid and faithful biblical teaching. We home school, so finding a church where we felt our kids would feel comfortable was the highest priority. I appreciate the way Fr. Matt opens the scriptures up, with insights that are Biblically faithful and compelling." "My husband and I had been members of an Episcopal church for years. I tried to hold on to that but eventually I could not bear the constant political sermonizing and moral compromises. We eventually visited Trinity and love it! We are so happy we found Trinity!" The music! Wow! It's hard to find great choral music and well done traditional hymns, but when we visited Trinity we were not disappointed. The music is traditional, but uplifting and inspiring and not at all stuffy. My wife joined the choir and loves it! |

What is the service like?
We invite you to stay for If you are unfamiliar with Style
When you visit you'll notice that our style of worship is thoroughly Anglican - the emphasis is on prayers, reading scripture and Holy Communion. Beauty and dignity is our worship language. Our liturgy (pattern of service) follows the Book of Common Prayer and Anglican Missal. You can follow the service from the Prayer Book, and we also provide a bulletin and Guide.
Our approach to the liturgy is to create a sense of sacred mystery while still feeling comfortable. If you are unfamiliar with historic liturgies, it may take a while for you to get used to it. But once you do, you will discover how rich it is.
At times that we kneel and make the sign of the cross out of reverence for God. We chant a little, light candles, sing hymns and use incense (Mal 1:11). We listen to an bible-based sermon lasting about 20-30 minutes. We receive Holy Eucharist in bread and wine at the altar rail, kneeling. You may receive Holy Communion If you have been baptized in the Christian Faith and have been confirmed in any of the Historic Christian Traditions (Roman, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican or Lutheran). If you are unsure whether you should take Communion, ask the priest. If you are not receiving Communion, cross your arms in front at the rail to receive a blessing. Communion is followed by concluding prayers and dismissal. We invite you to stay for coffee and refreshments after the service.

Core Values
We are convinced that the Christian church and our society are at a cross-roads. While not a statement of faith (that is the Nicene Creed) these points represent important convictions about how we are to engage our world. 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.
And, of course, We Believe Jesus is the savior of the world and none of this matters without Him as Lord of all!
