Trinity Episcopal Church is to devote our lives to Christ through prayer, worship, service, and learning and to seek others to share our commitment.

 

       Trinity can claim some bragging rights for its building and grounds. The church is located on a rolling five-acre plot on the northeast edge of a middle class residential area in Watertown. The contemporary church building was dedicated in 1975, nine years following the first service in the new church on Trinity Sunday in 1966.

 

Previously, the congregation worshipped downtown in a lovely frame church, part of which dated from 1882. Through age and use, it became unsafe. “Old Trinity” is preserved, however, as its stained glass windows, altar, baptismal font, cross and other appointments are now the furnishing of St. Luke’s Chapel in “New Trinity.” This chapel unites us with our forebearers who brought the church and its traditions with them when they helped found the city of Watertown. More important, though, this chapel provides the congregation with a beautiful place for weekday services and a quiet haven for individual prayer and meditation.

The main worship area is spacious with seating for about 200. A magnificent hand-carved Christus Rex is suspended over the chancel. The white marble altar and the pipe organ were memorial gifts when the church was built.

The undercroft includes a nursery, a vestry/library room and a dining area that can be easily divided for Sunday school or small groups. The kitchen is adjacent.

All areas of the church are handicapped accessible and an elevator is available.
