Community

Trinity Church was established in the Asylum Hill neighborhood of Hartford in 1859. Though it is a place of worship for a diverse congregation, coming from many communities across the Greater Hartford region, our involvement in the community is something that defines who we are.

Trinity has a strong outreach ministry to the Asylum Hill community. We play an active role in organizations like the Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association and we have been an incubator for several on-going programs, including Loaves and Fishes Ministries, Trinity Academy and Fresh Start Worx which have now moved on to bigger spaces.  Part of our space is used by various recovery programs. We are also involved in ecumenical and interfaith relationships through such organizations as the Hartford International University for Religion and Peace's  Building Abrahamic Partnerships program.

Asylum Hill is the neighborhood that was home to Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, and their houses still draw many visitors to the area. Today Asylum Hill is home to the corporate headquarters of the Aetna divison of CVS Health and The Hartford Insurance Company. West Middle School and Jumoke Academy at the Hartford Conservatory are schools that are located close to Trinity Church. Other neighborhood organizations include The Salvation Army and the Boys and Girls Club of Hartford.
