About this church
Trinity Episcopal Church worships at 10:30 a.m. Sunday in the sanctuary at 1118 Preston Avenue in Charlottesville, with an online option. The service follows Rite II from the Book of Common Prayer and includes Scripture, choral and congregational singing, a sermon, and Communion. Worship normally lasts about an hour, followed by fellowship. The atmosphere and dress are casual, and bulletins guide people through the prayer book and hymnals, making the liturgy accessible to guests without prior Episcopal experience.
Trinity began in August 1919 as a diocesan mission in the historically Black Vinegar Hill neighborhood and moved into its Preston Avenue home in 1972. Today it describes itself as a multicultural community of reconciliation, transformation, and love. Its global music ministry draws from traditions across continents, while racial-justice work and the White Feather project continue the congregation's commitment to bridge-building and healing. Bread & Roses joins environmental and economic justice through gardens that grow food for neighbors, native habitat, and a community kitchen that supports local businesses. Faith formation, children and youth, Bible study, prayer, and many volunteer worship roles provide further entry points. A newcomer can attend the single Sunday service and stay for conversation afterward. People interested in a community partner, garden project, or formation group should confirm its present schedule, since those ministries do not all operate at the worship hour.
