"Living and growing in our relationship with God, Trinity Parish wishes to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with our expanding church family and go forth into our community to spread His love and joy."

Trinity Church is a community of about 200 registered members, with about 100 in attendance each Sunday.

Trinity is a friendly place with a mix of long-term attendees and relative newcomers. We make up a variety of age groups and come from many different walks of life. Some of us are life-long Episcopalians, many of us are new to the denomination, but all of us worship and work together to serve Jesus Christ. The parish honors its Episcopal tradition (The Episcopal Church traces its beginnings from the Church of England) while remaining open to the movement of, and growth in, the Holy Spirit.We welcome all who seek to know God in Jesus Christ and all seeking a community in which to worship, serve and grow in faith.

Early in 1832 an organization known as Trinity Episcopal Church was formed in Elkton, a town at the head of the Elk River, one of the tributaries of the massive Chesapeake Bay, in the northeast corner of Maryland. The lot upon which the first Trinity Church was erected was deeded to the Vestry by Samuel Hollingsworth. On Friday, November 23, 1832, Bishop Stone consecrated a frame church building.

By the 1860's the congregation had grown and a larger structure was needed. The present stone Gothic-style church was erected and consecrated by Bishop Kerfoot of Pittsburgh on St. Barnabas Day, 1867. Trinity was separated from North Elk Parish in 1871 and encompassed a wide area of Cecil County, henceforth known as Trinity Parish.

In 1877 a rectory was purchased and moved from Main Street to Bridge Street at the site of the present rectory. A disastrous fire in 1896 destroyed the chancel and sanctuary of the church which were subsequently repaired and improved. Trinity Parish House was built in 1904 and in 1941 the second floor was finished to provide additional rooms for the Church School. In 1953 a large addition was completed. The capital improvement program of 1953 also included the demolition of the old rectory and the building of the present brick, Cape Cod-type structure.

During its 173-year history Trinity Parish has been served by twenty-three priests. The parish is experiencing a time of growth and rebuilding, serving about 130 households.
