The People of Trinity
“a place to belong”
Trinity Church is made up of people of all ages and many circumstances. We come from Tariffville, Simsbury, Granby, East Granby, Ashford, Avon, Bloomfield, Bristol, Burlington, Canton, East Hartland, Farmington, Litchfield, North Granby, Plainville, South Windsor, Suffield, Wallingford, Weatogue, West Granby, West Simsbury, West Suffield, Unionville, Willington, Windsor, Windsor Locks, and Agawam, Granville, & Westfield, MA. There is no one “demographic” to our parish, so we’re sharing some of our own words to let you know something about who we are. Come join us, and see for yourself.
“I love the whole feeling that comes over me when I step into Trinity Church…a sense of peace. I have attended Trinity for years and yet I still find myself gazing around at all the details of the church as I sit in my usual spot in my usual pew on Sunday mornings. It is a beautiful church in a cozy neighborhood in a great town. There is a sense of family amongst the members of Trinity and you are always made to feel welcome when you walk in the door.”
~Simsbury Mom
“Music is an integral part of the worship service at Trinity. When I sing praises to the Lord, I feel connected in a special way to the Lord and all the people at Trinity.”
~Engineer
“I look forward to participating in a Trinity service each week. It reconnects me with my “faith family.” I feel surrounded by love and goodwill and I get the spiritual sustenance I need for the coming week.”
~Community Volunteer
“For someone who is searching for peace, answers, or simply a place to belong, Trinity Church is a wonderful place to start. Wherever you may be in your Christian journey, be it questioning or resting in the Lord, you’ll be warmly greeted at Trinity with open hearts right where you are today.”

“I knew that I found a church family when my teenagers would wake me up saying, “Hurry up Mom, we’re going to be late for church!” Trinity provides a youth and teen program that is loving, accepting and all inclusive. Special needs kids are made to feel loved and included, all in the name of Jesus. You just can’t find that anywhere.”
~Small Business Owner
“My family came to Trinity because my husband and I thought that our children should go to Sunday School, and learn the stories from the Bible like we did when we were children. Little did we know that Christ would become so real to us at Trinity that it would change our lives forever. God showed Himself to us in the worship, the music, and mostly, the friendships we formed at Trinity. We’ve never looked back.”
~Teacher
“I like going to the contemporary service at 9 o’clock. It’s upbeat and straightforward. For someone who did not grow up in church, this is the perfect fit.”
~College Student
“I love how Trinity Church takes care of the young members of the congregation. Many people whose own children are grown are still very involved with the kids in various ways such as through church school or youth group. The kids at Trinity are very well cared for and loved by many people. My kids have always felt like it was a safe place where they could just be themselves. There are plenty of ways for children to become involved at Trinity Church while being helped along in their faith journey.”
~Parent of teenagers
“When I was divorced and a single parent, lonely and “at loose ends,” I was invited to Trinity Church in Tariffville. Over the years, more than 30 now, the folks at Trinity have been like a second family. There’s always someone to listen or pray with or share a joke.”
~Happily Remarried Grandfather in North Granby.
“Trinity’s Children’s Choirs are an important part of my children’s week. They truly look forward to learning and singing with music professionals who are expert at drawing the best from each child. The groups of kids are warm, friendly, and supportive of each other’s efforts. I am grateful that my children are spending time with people who are interested in their spiritual health and well-being. There is no other activity anywhere in the valley that offers professional instruction, self expression, friendship, teamwork, communication skills, self discipline, self confidence, memory skills, fun, commitment, promotion, the joy of accomplishment and participation in something important, all at no cost.”
~Simsbury Mom
“I look forward to the youth group kick offs because it is a time to reconvene with people. The pumpkin patch is also another favorite because who doesn’t love dressing up like a pumpkin?”
~High School Student
“My husband and I had been searching for a church for awhile and when we found Trinity it was like love at first sight. The clergy and the people in the parish made us feel welcome from the very first day. You will find love and acceptance no matter where you are in your spiritual journey to be closer to the Lord.”
~Attorney
“I am at Trinity because we believe that the traditions and history of church music are worth saving and passing on. We also actually believe the words that we sing! So many churches are just abandoning the gifts and wisdom from the past and embracing the popular culture of the moment.
The youth choirs are a secret treasure that shouldn’t be secret.”
~Lifelong singer and Musician
“Trinity is a place where ‘I come with joy to meet my Lord.’”
~Granby resident
“I love Trinity because it is dedicated to the love and growth of our children and teens. Our teachers and youth group leaders are gifts from God!”
~Medical Professional
“Why Trinity? It’s where I really met Jesus as a friend. My husband and I have been part of Trinity for over 40 years, and in addition to coming to know Jesus, I met many of my best friends here.
The music is wonderful–all different kinds of worship music. The variety of services allows one to choose contemporary or traditional, with music or without. There’s something for everyone at Trinity, but it centers on the One and Only Lord.”~Retired Teacher
