Thank you for exploring Trinity’s website.  Trinity is an historic congregation, the first house of worship in the City of Reading.  We were established in 1751 and are still worshiping in our beautiful colonial church building, constructed in 1791.  Some of our families have been part of this congregation for many generations.  At the same time, Trinity is always open to new people and we are eager to welcome fresh ideas for ministry.  We believe that God is continuing to write the history of this church through those who have been called together today.

By the grace of God’s Spirit, we have a deep love for this city and for those who live here.  Our members come both from the city and from surrounding communities, but we all share a vision of reaching out with the love of Christ to those who are our neighbors.  On our Ministries tab, you can see descriptions of opportunities for youth and adults, learn about our interesting and always-evolving media ministry, and explore the wonderful work God is doing among us for the good of this city and the world God loves.

We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, affirming and encouraging the full participation of LGBTQ members and visitors.  We are strengthened through diversity and blessed by the multitude of talents, perspectives, and faith journeys of all who gather here.

Worship is at the center of our life together, because as we hear God’s Word, receive forgiveness, and offer our lives in praise, we are assured of our place as God’s beloved children and are formed as the people God has created and called us to be.  Music at Trinity is always a special gift and many people of all ages and cultures find that the beauty of liturgical worship touches a deep place in their lives.
