The Door’s mission is to empower young people to reach their potential by providing comprehensive youth development services in a diverse and caring environment.

God is always with us. Like all of the gifts of the Spirit — love, kindness, wisdom, joy, and more — faith isn’t a possession, and it can’t be hoarded to protect us. What we do with it is what matters.

With the launch of the Trinity Leadership Fellows program, we hope to have started a new way of training faith leaders. But more importantly, we hope to have created a program where those called to lonely journeys can travel together—as friends. 

We all have times in our lives when we feel like we’re in the wilderness and connection to community seems remote. Jesus can heal us in these times, and we can show our gratitude for this gift by offering this same love and healing to others.

It is no mean feat to be fully present, so engaged and intimate with a subject, to truly see it — and to see yourself in it. To truly see it — and to see God in it. This is the secret that contemplatives and mystics know.

In this long season after Pentecost, we not only enjoy the growth, blooming, and harvesting of spring, summer, and fall, but our liturgy often points us to a different kind of growth — the growth and movement of the Holy Spirit, which is not as easy to see as in plants, people, and animals.

The Trinity Churchyard is a visual oasis, an open space in a city crowded with skyscrapers, a place where all four seasons are on display, and have been for more than three centuries. A perfect spot for lunch, or a history lesson, or a scavenger hunt.

Houses of worship and nonprofit organizations have long been at the forefront of welcoming immigrants, and the latest influx of Latin American asylum seekers in New York City is no exception. We at Trinity are proud to play a part in that response, providing both $300,000 in strategic grants and distributing supplies worth $500,000 to nonprofit organizations on the ground.
