Trinity Episcopal Church

read moreKnow that whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey of faith, you will be welcomed at Trinity Episcopal Church. We are a community of Christians in the Episcopal Tradition who are passionate about serving God's mission of restoration and reconciliation to a world so in need of God's healing touch. Founded in 1859, Trinity was the first "free" church in Hartford, meaning that the church did not charge "pew fees" to enter Sunday worship but welcomed everyone regardless of their station in life acknowledging that each of us has an equal need for God's grace and mercy.

Though it is a place of worship for a diverse congregation, coming from many communities across the Greater Hartford region, our involvement in the community is something that defines who we are. Trinity has a strong outreach ministry, we are host to many recovery programs, and we have been an incubator for several community programs, including Loaves and Fishes, Trinity Academy, the Fresh Start Pallet Project, and many others.

Some years ago, I made my first visit to Holy Cross Monastery, a community of Episcopal brothers in upstate New York. I was interested to see, carved over the main entrance to the old stone monastery, these words: "Crux est mundi medicina", Latin for "the cross is the medicine of the world". I was struck by this statement, one I had never heard before.
