Who We Are
Trinity is an inclusive and diverse church. The east coast, south and mid-west have all blessed us with members who have found a home in the founding Episcopal church of the west coast. We are an Oasis Congregation committed to the dignity, rights and responsibilities of all. We are called to social justice, political conscience and pastoral concern.
We welcome all - ALL - people to our church and to our Eucharist table. No one who wishes to take communion is ever turned away. It is spoken from the pulpit that ALL people are included in God's Love.
The Bishop's Committee and Officers of Trinity Episcopal Church
Trinity, as with most Episcopal Churches, is governed by a body of lay people elected annually by the congregation. This body is responsible for overseeing the financial, spiritual, and social health of the congregation as examples of Christian stewardship and ministry.

| Trinity Church is forming itself to be a lay-led, mutual ministry congregation. With the permission of the Bishop, a group of volunteer clergy has organized itself as a Collegium to support this ministry. |
