Learn | Holy Trinity Parish

At Holy Trinity, Christian Formation is one way that the Holy Spirit works to grow God’s people ever more into Christ’s own likeness. Through intentional formation, we encounter the riches of our inheritance and the witness of the saints across time and space. Opportunities for Christian Formation include classes, small groups, bible study, practices of prayer and service, and occasional speakers from the wider church.

Formation looks different in this season during our hiatus from being in our buildings, but it continues. Some classes-- such as the Men’s Room, Life in Christ, and Holy Moly classes-- continue to meet online, or in an online and in-person hybrid. For more information about how to connect with particular online offerings, please contact The Rev. Jenna Strizak.

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? Online Worship Families

Welcome to Holy Trinity Parish!
In this time of social distancing, we can, and will practice connectivity in new and powerful ways, for we know we ARE connected as one in the Lord.
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. Since we are physically separate, we are exploring other ways to feel more fully spiritually connected to God and each other.
Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

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.

Coffee Hour on Zoom after 10:30 a.m. service

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.
