The story of Holy Trinity began in 1879 when a group of German Lutherans met in a French Protestant Church and determined to use the English language in their worship, teaching, and ministry. It was a kind of Pentecost-experience: a faith shared in a way which leaped across language barriers. We emerged through our exciting formative years into a vigorous congregation, influenced the establishment of eight other congregations, involved Holy Trinity's life and purpose in the expanding and changing city, strengthened our congregation's Gospel witness even in times of wars and civil disturbance, and pledged to continue as a creative, courageous and innovative metropolitan congregation.
