Trinity at 22nd

Trinity at 22nd supports community by providing a place for spiritual growth, opportunities to help the needy, arts, culture, and enrichment. The buildings we share offer the neighborhood space to grow, serve, celebrate, and learn.

Trinity Memorial Episcopal Church

Trinity Memorial Episcopal Church (TMC) has served as a house of worship and community resource for more than 125 years. A progressive congregation, we welcome all seekers on a spiritual path who wish to grow and serve God and the community. Our feasts and festivals are joyful celebrations.

Housed in a unique architectural structure, our beautiful sanctuary is open and airy, with a circular communion rail surrounding the altar and flexible design. The superb acoustics enhance every musical note, from the soft voices of children to the soaring vocals of the adult choir.

Our Sunday morning service begins at 10:30 am. Childcare is provided by trained teens for children up to age 5. Classes for children 6-11 years are held 10:30 - 11:15 when all the children join the congregation for Holy Eucharist. The first Sunday of each month is Youth Sunday when the children and youth esercise all manner of leadership in worship including readers, acolytes, ushers and choir. Youth Group for ages 12+ is held every other week 11:45-1. The youth also serve the wider community in a monthly service project outside our walls.

No matter where you are on your faith journey, our doors are open; when you're ready, we're here.


Community OutReach Partnership

Community OutReach Partnership (CORP): Throughout the church’s history, worship and bible study have gone hand-in-hand with a dedication to community service. In order to fulfill this mission, in 1985, Trinity Memorial founded CORP as a collaborative, non-denominational organization that connects people who care with volunteer programs that provide direct help to those among us who are homeless, hungry, elderly, lonely, or needy, without regard to race, gender, or religion. It seeks to aid those who are most vulnerable in ways that are practical by offering clearly defined opportunities for compassionate action. CORP seeks to call attention to the common humanity of helpers and those who need help, and to break the barriers that separate one human being from another. Its main programs are WinterShelter, a homeless shelter in the basement of the Parish Hall; Communicare, which matches volunteers with the frail elderly; Cook-Off, which prepares two hundred meals every other month for the homeless; and the Community Potluck Dinners, each of which focuses on a social issue that affects our community.

Trinity Center for Urban Life

Trinity Center for Urban Life (TCUL) is a secular nonprofit organization that helps support the historic buildings of Trinity Memorial Church. TCUL creates a center for the people of the community and responds to their needs by providing cultural events, educational opportunities, and neighborhood services. TCUL manages the buildings for the use of organizations offering community support and public or private performances. The rooms, including the beautiful Great Hall, rebuilt after a catastrophic fire in 1994, can be rented for gatherings of all sorts, from large parties to intimate recitals. Fully moveable seating means that the space can be configured and decorated for many different events. Concerts, receptions, weddings, meetings, workshops, conferences, and celebrations occupy these gracious buildings.
