Trinity
Church is part of the Church of the Nazarene, a Protestant church with Wesleyan
roots. The denomination began in Los Angeles in the late 1800s as a centre of
compassion in the inner city. Within a few short years the denomination grew,
and today the International Church of the Nazarene operates in 160 countries
world-wide, and is well-known for involvement in compassionate ministry and
responding to the love of God for all people by loving and caring for others.
Trinity
Church moved to her current location in Riverview Park-Alta Vista in 1968, a
merger of First Church that met in the Glebe and Grace Church that met in
Westborough. As a "community within the community" or a community
hub, we are active in Riverview Park. The English congregation meets Sundays at
11:00 am for worship and celebration and an Hispanic congregation meets at 3:00
pm. Trinity Church also hosts the Alta Vista Cooperative Nursery School and a
community garden. We continue to work with the Blair Court Community House and
we operate a FreeShare Depot [making "gently used" items available to
those who have need].
As a
congregation, Trinity Church strives to have a positive Christian influence in
our community and in our society. Those who are believers in the Christian
faith are challenged and encouraged so that they may be strong in what they
believe. Those who are not practicing Christians are welcome to be a part of
Trinity Church to discover how a relationship with Jesus can be life changing.
As a compassionate community of believers we care for one another and for
others, meeting physical, social, and emotional needs as well as spiritual.
The
Trinity congregation is committed to sharing God's love, grace, and peace with
others. We are a friendly congregation, ready to laugh with one another in good
times and to cry with one another in sad times. And we are a congregation that
is committed to honour God in all that we do.
