Pardon Our Mess!

As we continue to rebuild and restore our wonderful space together, there will be active construction happening at the church. If you have any questions or concerns about any of the work being done, please feel free to reach out to us! We have added a page to our website about the work we are doing, and will be regularly updating it. Take a look here.

We’re Hiring: Front Desk Receptionist

The Church of the Holy Trinity is looking for outgoing, people-oriented and fearless folks to welcome visitors, parishioners, vendors, and neighbors into our space each week. We are open to the public, which means you will encounter people from all walks of life, from all over the world, and with all kinds of experiences and needs. You will also experience the joy of others when they see the inside of the church for the first time!

We are looking for people who can work regular shifts each week (same time, same day). Current hours are M-Th 10-3, but we will likely expand to Fridays and Saturdays beginning in March or April. Duties will include: answering phones, welcoming visitors and vendors at the front desk.
