Overview

Founded in 1697, Trinity Church is a vibrant Episcopal parish, where daily worship services form the heart of our Christian identity.

Trinity is a grant-making organization, streaming funds throughout the city and the world, as well as a resource for Lower Manhattan's commuters and tourists, who find inspirational music within its walls.

Through its congregational staff and maintenance teams, it is a sacred oasis amid the busy downtown streets.

It is an important player in the world of New York City commercial realty, and home to an award-winning preschool. It is the home to the committees, guilds, and task-forces of a congregation committed to bringing God's Kingdom to this world.

Trinity also sponsors an annual national theological conference that gathers top thinkers to the church nave, and a series of related small group gatherings, meetings, and classes for Christian formation. Also part of the Trinity family is this award-winning website.

Trinity is a home for the elderly and disabled. It is also the home of St. Paul's Chapel, the "little chapel that stood" after September 11, which now serves as a congregation for peace and reconciliation.

If you are traveling to New York City, feel free to stop by our Welcome Center and Museum. Otherwise, continue browsing these pages, learning more about the parish.
