Holy Trinity Episcopal Church

Who are we?

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church was formed as the result of a merger in 2008 of St. Philips, St. Thomas and Epiphany Episcopal Churches.  The combined history of these three churches dates back to 1898 which included a strong presence in the Rondo community of St. Paul and South Minneapolis. Holy Trinity continues the outreach work for which each church was known for in the past. Located in the Hamline-Midway area of St. Paul (1636 Van Buren Avenue), our congregation, is the only predominately African American Episcopal Church in Minnesota. In past GTTM years you gave donations that helped us with much needed renovations to our church built in 1904 (see pictures in our photo gallery).

Help take Holy Trinity Episcopal Church’s music ministry to the next level!

Holy Trinity is looking to develop its music ministry. Recently, we hired an interim director of music, Jerrad Fenske. He is formidable in piano, organ, and even voice. His vision includes incorporating staff singers in efforts to enhance congregational singing and support the already enthusiastic voices from the pews. There are also plans to invite instrumentalists to allow for more dynamic worship experiences. 

Creating a space for grace is not always easy. In our efforts to develop the music program at Holy Trinity, we need to replace the piano in our sanctuary, which is beyond repair. Another congregation has been incredibly generous, offering one of its working pianos free of charge. However, we will have to pay professional movers to retrieve the donated piano and deliver it to us and then take our current piano to a facility that can use it, repurposing parts and recycling the unusable remains. In addition, our physical space may need to be altered to accommodate singers and musicians. 

Development of this scale is not impossible, and we look to you for help. Consider contributing to a new era or praise and song at Holy Trinity to help us reach our goal of raising $2000.00!
