Reimagining Church

New Models for the 21st Century

Trinity on the Green, New Haven

Trinity on the Green is a historic Episcopal Church located in the heart of New Haven, on the New Haven Green.  Trinity recognizes that there is more than one way to connect with one another and with God, as reflected in the breadth of their programs. Trinity connects with God aesthetically—through choral music, theater, art installations, and readings. Trinity connects with God ethically—serving Christ through serving others out on the New Haven Green and beyond. And Trinity connects with God spiritually—through reflection, meditation, “Godly play,” Bible study, and prayer. Trinity joins together every Sunday for  common worship, where all of these strands are brought together at the heart of Trinity’s worship, the Table of God.
