2021 Trinity Scholarship Winner - Richard Ahlquist


Richard grew up at Holy Trinity Parish where he sang in the choir, and served as one of the best-trained acolytes in the diocese, under Tommy Lowndes. He was greatly impacted by youth group experiences at Holy Trinity. Trips to Camp Mikell, volunteering at the Atlanta Community Food Bank, a white-water rafting trip to Canada, and being up-staged by Rev. Hunt Comer at a talent show are all cherished memories of Holy Trinity.

After graduating from Decatur High School in 2002, Richard went to Auburn University to study Forestry, and attended St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church. He practiced forestry in Alabama for 12 years before the Diocese of Alabama confirmed his discernment of a call to ordained ministry. In August of 2020 he and his wife, Helen, moved to Sewanee, TN with their two children, Miles (4) and Elizabeth (2). Richard has completed the first of three years to complete his Masters in Divinity at the University of the South. He particularly enjoys his classes in theology and electives in Spanish, which he hopes will allow him to serve Hispanic and Latino communities in the future.

Richard and Helen love all things outdoors, where they experience God’s love for us in the beauty of creation. They both grew up Episcopalian, and look forward to serving this wonderful church in new ways. They are excited to see where this journey will take them in two years, and beyond!

    Holy Trinity Parish is part of 109 worshiping communities across middle and north Georgia, and part of a worldwide expression of Christianity known as the Anglican Communion. One of our hallmarks is that we find our unity in our common prayer and worship, not in our common thought or belief. When we gather to pray, we join in ancient practices designed to shape our lives to be more like Christ’s. We hear God’s word, pray for the world, confess our sins, receive forgiveness, be at peace with one another, and celebrate our unity with God and one another in Holy Communion.

    Welcome Is there a place for me here? Worship Families

    Welcome to Holy Trinity Parish!

    Welcome to this place of prayer, service, and belonging. Whether you are looking for a church home or just looking for a place today to slip in quietly and worship God, we are glad you are here.

    We know that the church is not the building in which we worship – but the people who worship and share God’s love with the world.

    Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

    Discover how we are being the church in new and exciting ways!

    In a word, yes.

    We at Holy Trinity Parish give thanks to God for the gift of spiritual maturity in our leadership. Spiritual maturity means we are able to focus on the work God gives us to do in the world. It means we are able to welcome new people, new experiences, and new challenges without fear or anxiety. It means we welcome diversity as a gift from God. You’ll find a richness here, with people trying to love God and one another all across the age and economic spectrums, and all across the political and cultural spectrums, too. You’ll find people who know the ancient rhythms of our worship by heart, people who are coming from other expressions of Christianity, and people who have little or no experience with Church.

    Sunday Worship

    8 a.m. Rite I in Chapel

    10:30 a.m. Rite II with music in Nave and streaming on our YouTube Channel and facebook live.

    When we gather for worship, we strive to glorify God with beautiful music, intentional silence, and words of both comfort and challenge. We also strive in our worship to welcome and include people of all ages and capabilities: people who wiggle and make noise, people whose cell phones go off, people who nod off during the sermon, people who can’t quite sing on key, and people who are so busy through the week that they struggle to “be still and know that you are God.”

    If you are bringing young children to our worship, THANK YOU! and we challenge you to try to engage them in the holy drama of worship: teach them our prayers and how to hold a hymnal, show them when to stand or kneel, and use our worship bags to give busy hands something to do. Or if it is better for you or your children that they be in our nursery, it is professionally staffed from 8:00 a.m. until just before communion at the 10:30 a.m. service, and it is located on the second floor next to the chapel.

    The faithful giving of all our members enables our ministries and our life together. Each week, we are nurtured in word and sacrament. We are called by God to care for those who are ill or hurting, and welcome all those searching for a community of faith.

    We try to be a generous parish. Although giving levels vary in the congregation, all of us are asked to give in a way that reflects our commitment to living a generous life. I invite you to prayerfully consider how you might live life more generously.
