Becoming a Member of Trinity Church
How do I become a member of Trinity church?
The first step towards becoming part of our faith community is to join us in worship. Come to a service on Sundays (see schedule) and also check out our classes for all ages (available September through May). Stay for coffee and conversation. We will be delighted to welcome you, answer your questions, and get to know you a bit. If you’d just like some space to check us out before getting connected, let us know and we will honor that too. We know that people come to church for a variety of reasons and we will do all we can to meet you where you are. Let us know if you would like to join, and give us your contact information!
How do I become an Episcopalian?
Our priests are always happy to talk about what it means to be an Episcopalian, our way of life and faith, and why they have chosen this particular approach to following Christ. If you would like to deepen your connection with us by officially joining your spiritual journey with the Episcopal Church, contact the clergy.
How do I request a letter of transfer?
To deepen your connection with us, there are additional ways to strengthen your membership: to transfer your records if you are already an Episcopalian or gain the right to vote on issues important to us. For information on each of these things, contact the Parish Secretary.
About the Episcopal Church
The Episcopal church is the U.S. based chapter of the world-wide Anglican church; our historical roots are in the Church of England. Sticky politics after the American Revolution caused our church to call itself “Episcopal” when the rest of the world was using “Anglican” to name their branches of the denomination.
“Episcopal” means “having bishops.”
We are often called a “bridge” church; Roman Catholics will find much of our worship service familiar and similar to their mass, while Protestants will recognize our focus on scripture, personal study and prayer, and celebrating the gifts of all people in ministry. Our churches are run by elected lay people, in partnership with our clergy and under the guidance and direction of our bishop. Our clergy are allowed to marry and come from either gender.
Our faith life is centered in our worship of God, gathered together around the communion table. This is why, when asked about the Episcopal church, our answer is most often, “to really get a sense of who we are, come and worship with us!”
