Welcome to Trinity!
Maybe Christianity is a faith you have known since childhood and you are looking for a new church community. Maybe it is a faith that you wandered away from or that left you behind, when it seemed unable to embrace your growing sense of the inclusiveness of God's love or your questions about what is true. Maybe Christianity is something you have only heard about through others and it's time to find out for yourself. Or maybe you have welcomed children into your home and you want them to grow up in a safe, loving community with good values. Whatever your reason, the people of Trinity Church, Swarthmore, invite you to come and see what we're about and why we feel called into spiritual community with one another. You will be warmly welcomed.

Who Are We? 
Trinity Church is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are a faith community with a family atmosphere that combines a variety of worship styles. Our emphasis is on worship, outreach, and spiritual formation for all ages. Though we consider the pandemic not yet over, we have recommitted to a church school program for children, ages 5-18, and to adult educational offerings in addition to the small-group gatherings that have continued throughout.  


In an increasingly frantic and difficult world, we offer a place of prayer and of resources for deepening our connection with the Lord of life. The development of a healthy spiritual life, or "formation in the life of the Spirit", is the central focus of our life as a parish faith community.

How Do We Worship? 
Our Sunday worship draws us more deeply into communion with God and one another through Holy Eucharist, in which we hear the Word of God, respond with prayer and thanksgiving, and enter into the sacrament of Holy Communion with God and one another. We currently have three services on Sundays: an 8:00 am, traditional language (Rite One) service, 9:15 am family service with contemporary-style music (guitar and piano), and an 11:00 am Rite Two Choral Eucharist with full choir.    Families with children of any age are welcome at all Sunday services.

During the week, we gather for spiritual nurture at other times and in other ways, as well. Throughout the pandemic, several parishioners have met with our rector online for daily Morning Prayer, a service open to all via the website link. The Monday evening Centering Prayer practices mindfulness in a Christian setting. 
The Wednesday, 12noon Holy Eucharist features a dialogical time for reflection and Holy Communion round the altar. 
On first Fridays of the month, Harry's Friends meet in the morning for fellowship, prayer, and pondering the upcoming Sunday's scriptures. In any and all of these ways, we invite you to join in seeking God and the love God yearns to give through Christ.

How Do We Serve? 
​
Trinity Church, Swarthmore, is known for its outreach and service in the community. We organize a number of ways to be involved in outreach programs, donations to food cupboards, volunteer opportunities in nearby Chester, Martin Luther King Day of Service, and mission trips, among other activities. We are also open to new ideas! Do you have one to share?
