Since 1893 Trinity has provided a
spiritual home for countless seekers in the heart ofHouston. Over the years, as our neighborhood and
city have changed, we’ve evolved too, and responded to the needs of a
challenging urban context. Today we
are an interesting assortment of creative folk, who represent the eclectic
nature and boundless energy of our vibrant cosmopolitan home. We are an open, inclusive community and
welcome others to join us on the spiritual path. We value such things as beauty and
diversity, which you’ll find reflected in our art, architecture, and music, and
also in our commitment to outreach and service to those in need. We strive to be faithful to our call to
reconcile all people to God and to each other. Our hope is that
Trinity
Church h\can be a refreshing
oasis of calm, peace, and understanding amidst the chaos of city life.
Our historic neo-gothic church building was designed by
renowned architect Ralph Adams Cram, assisted by William Ward Watkin, and was
completed in 1919. The lovely
Morrow Chapel was renovated in 2002 and features world-class stained glass,
artwork, and liturgical furnishings by such artists as Kim Clark Renteria,
Kermit Oliver, Troy Woods, Shazia Sikander, and Selven O’Keef Jarmon. Our Sunday worship services combine the
serenity of these sacred spaces with the joyful exuberance of a lively
fellowship. Our 8:00
a.m. Early Service (Morrow Chapel) is a traditional
communion service with meditative piano improvisations. Our 10:30 a.m. Main Service
(Historic
Church) is a glorious high mass with
organ and choir. Our 12:30
p.m. Late Service (Morrow Chapel)
features a broad spectrum of upbeat music and readings from the New Zealand
Prayer Book. Please know that
you would be most welcomed at any of these services.
At Trinity
Church, there is something for
everyone: ministries for all ages, varied opportunities for spiritual growth,
and countless programs in which to reach out in love and service to others. Throughout the year many special events
take place at Trinity including the Animal Blessing in October and the Jazz
Festival in February. There are
also occasional Sunday evening concerts and special services such as Choral
Evensong, sung Compline, or worship in the Taize tradition. Whatever you are looking for, we hope
you will find it at Trinity. We
would love to welcome you as part of our church family. |
