Community

As Christians we face the injustices of the world head-on and respond with love in action. At Trinity Church, we steward our resources to meet the needs right in front of us, here in our Lower Manhattan neighborhood. Loving our neighbors is how we follow Jesus. 

How We Work

Trinity Church uniquely serves as both a grant-maker and an organization providing support to those in need.

How We Give

Since 2020, Trinity has granted $180 million to more than 400 organizations.

Meditation in the Mess

The idea for this meditation retreat was born of the harrowing requirements of this past year. Our respite spaces—our homes—have been forced to fill all the functional needs of our lives; they have become, for many, our offices, our schools, our daycares, and our gyms too. I don’t know about you, but the blur of needs in such a small space and the ambient and personal stress of the pandemic has made maintaining a meditation practice seem out of reach— even more so, starting a meditation practice.
