Trinity is a growing church with a big heart. We
celebrate diversity--both among ourselves and in the world we live in.
We range in age from newborn to over 90, with an average age around 38.
A few of us have attended Trinity since childhood, and have raised our
own children here. Many others are new to the city or the neighborhood
and are just beginning to feel at home at Trinity. Many of us come from
Aurora, but several of us are known to travel, we have members who join
us from St. Charles, Naperville, Oswego, Plainfield, Leland. Over the
past five years, we have welcomed a number of young, single people as
well as families with young children and, simultaneously, many
empty-nesters.
Many parishioners were not raised in the
Episcopal tradition. Indeed, some of us didn't attend church at all as
children and are surprised to find ourselves encountering God through
the institutional church. We turn up each week imbued both with
skepticism and with hope, knowing that what we will find at Trinity
will be honest and provocative. Services and sermons are rooted both in
tradition and in the real world, the spirit is joyful and fun, and the
congregation is warm and welcoming.
Trinity’s unique spirit
also extends into the surrounding neighborhood through our commitment
to helping others. We currently dedicate a large percentage of our
operating budge to outreach. Our Sandwich Board program is also funded
in part by grants from the City of Aurora, civic organizations, other
Episcopal parishes, and individuals. Every Thursday, parishioners and
volunteers from neighboring churches prepare a meal for up to 150
people, and join the conversations and lives of those who come seeking
connection and support, as well as food. We begin with thanksgiving in
a service that grounds our ministry in God’s love, which we seek to
reflect to the community.Trinity is truly a church that changes lives,
and we hope that you will join us as we continue to grow in grace,
spirituality, and community involvement. Come at lunchtime any Thursday
to volunteer at our soup kitchen. Our Sunday morning service is at 9
with choir, nursery care and our children's church school, our coffee
hour is at 10:15.
