and a Spirit-filled community of prayer, love and healing. Trinity
is a community that serves and supports all of God's people at all
stages of life, welcomes diversity and disciples new members. Spiritual
growth is encouraged through Bible study, Christian education, stewardship
education, and servanthood. Whether you are a casual visitor, looking for a spiritual home, or a member of Trinity, this website is for you. In this website you will find a wealth of information designed to answer a variety of questions. A great place to get started is with the Q&As below.
When are your services? Trinity Church has two services each Sunday. The 9:00 a.m. service is a traditional Eucharist service where children and adults take an active role in the ministries of worship. Children serve as alcolytes. Members of the congregation serve as lay readers, assist the priest during communion and participate as ushers and greeters. The Trinity choir leads us in traditional hymns and is accompanied by our organist and choirmaster, Robin Dunn. They are sometimes joined by our Handbell Choir. The 11:00 a.m Celebration Eucharist is a contemporary-language service. The Trinity Celebration musicians "make a joyful noise" at this service. Lay people assist Father Nick and Rev. Rios at this service. They also serve as layreader and ushers.
How do I get to Trinity? Trinity Church is located in Baytown, Texas on the
corner of North Main and Cedar Bayou-Lynchburg. The entrance is from the
Cedar Bayou-Lynchburg side. You will find us easily accessible no matter
where you live. What do I expect on my first visit?
Where do I take my children? You will find wonderful accommodations and programs for your children. Our Nursery, located just down the hall from the Gathering Room, offers a warm and caring environment for your precious ones from birth to four years old. Next door, children ages five - fifth grade will be inspired and amazed as they experience the Bible through storytelling, music, plays, puppet shows, and group interactions. This rotation Sunday school program concentrates on the major stories of the Bible over a 4-5 week period through kid-friendly multimedia workshops that allow your boys and girlsto fully absorb the story being taught. Our dedicated and talented worshop leaders present God's truth in fun and innovative ways. They won't want to miss a single class. Do you have something for older students? We sure do. If you're a Jr. High or High School student, Trinity is the place to be. Stormie Bryant leads this dynamic group that meets every Wednesday evening from 6:30 - 8:15. The youth enjoy a meal together, play games, put on skits, watch movies, and participate in an informal Bible study. On Sunday mornings, the youth group assist with the Rotation Sunday school program and Children's Chapel. I know this is a new location for Trinity. Is there anything else planned for this site? Actually, there is a lot planned! What you see at our new campus is the completion of Phase I. We anticipate at least two additional phases of building. Phase II has kicked off and the building of additional Sunday school classes and a Parish Hall will begin in Spring 2008. Visit our Trinity Under Construction page for an idea of where we are and where we plan to go. Our core values, our vision, and our plan can be found here. more about the Episcopal Church |
During
the 11:00 a.m. services a special Children's Chapel is
provided for children
ages three through seven. Children begin services with their parents
in the sanctuary. After the Prayer of the Day, children are
led to the chapel area in the Christian Education room. Children's Chapel
provides a more child oriented opportunity for children to hear
the Gospel, sing songs, and have an interactive sermon where they can discuss
and ask questions. Children delight in hearing Bible stories, praying and singing
in a service designed especially for them. They
are reunited with their parents in church in time for the Eucharist.
From the minute you pull in the parking lot, you'll
be made to feel at home. Our friendly parking team will direct you as
you enter the campus. Valet parking is available for anyone who needs
assistance. Our greeters are posed just inside the doors to welcome you
and answer any questions you have.
