Who We Are

We are an urban parish, located in the Asylum Hill district of Hartford, Connecticut. Our campus is surrounded by large insurance companies and by housing and small businesses built in the Victorian era. Over the past 50 years we have moved from being a parish with members mostly drawn from white middle to upper middle-class suburban families to a parish with a broadly diverse ethnicity: White, African, African-American, Caribbean, Hispanic, and Asian. LGBTQ+ people have found a warm welcome here. We are strongly committed to women’s and lay ministry in all areas of parish leadership including our vestry and our wardens.  In addition to forums on social justice Trinity has been the home, some say the incubator, of programs such as sponsorship of immigrants, HeadStart, Loaves and Fishes, a Salvation Army senior center, Chrysalis (which supports people dealing with mental health issues), Integrity (addressing issues of sexuality), and most recently Trinity Academy. We are a congregation that celebrates racial, sexual, gender, and class diversity. We have developed a solid and robust identity that needs a leader who will reaffirm that identity and help us find new and exciting ways to express it more widely.
