Trinity Church

About Trinity Church

Founded in 1697, Trinity Church is an Episcopal parish located in the heart of New York City. With a long-standing commitment to justice, the church serves its community by providing a variety of outreach services, charitable initiatives, and a welcoming space for all to experience God’s love. Our mission is to work for justice, serve our neighbors, and bring people together in fellowship.

Outreach and Community Services

Trinity Church’s outreach extends beyond worship and faith education. We are deeply committed to helping those in need through charitable grantmaking, hands-on assistance, and a variety of support programs. Each week, we offer 20 worship services, and our food assistance program operates seven days a week, helping those who are hungry. We also provide housing for the elderly and those living with disabilities, support for asylum seekers, and youth programs that serve the next generation. Additionally, Trinity Church hosts a wide range of free music and educational events throughout the year, ensuring that our community has access to enriching cultural experiences.

Beyond our local services, Trinity Church also supports ministries across the globe, from Africa to Asia and the Americas, making a global impact in various communities and ministries that work toward positive change.

A Commitment to Philanthropy

With an endowment of $6 billion, Trinity Church has significantly increased its philanthropic efforts, quadrupling its giving since 2020. In the last few years, we have donated more than $200 million to nearly 500 organizations. Our focus on supporting vital causes locally and globally ensures that we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of many.

Worship at Trinity Church

At the heart of our parish life is worship. Trinity Church offers 20 weekly services, including our Sunday 11:15 a.m. service, which is live-streamed and watched by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. The church’s historic churchyard at Broadway and Wall Street, along with St. Paul’s Chapel just north on Broadway, serves as a sanctuary for more than 3 million visitors and pilgrims each year. Our beautiful spaces provide an opportunity for spiritual connection, reflection, and peace amidst the bustling city.
