Trinity By The Cove Episcopal

What Trinity By The Cove Episcopal does

Trinity-by-the-Cove Episcopal Church is a nonprofit religious organization in Naples, Florida, operating under the Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Florida from a waterfront campus at 553 Galleon Drive overlooking Naples Bay. The church delivers weekly worship across multiple formats — Saturday Vigil, Sunday Rite I and Rite II services, seasonal Waterfront Worship (October–April), and weekday offerings including Tuesday Morning Prayer via Zoom, Wednesday Holy Eucharist with Healing, and Thursday Choral Evensong — alongside formation programs for nursery through adult, pastoral care, and a calendar of congregational events. Parishioners and visitors are the primary constituency, with secondary beneficiaries including Collier County residents served through outreach ministries such as the Church Mouse thrift shop, Soup for the Soul, Art of Giving grants, and the Christmas Market.

The organization's distinctive assets are its music ministry and instrument collection. A fully professional 12-voice choir under Music Director Tripp Kennedy leads worship year-round and performs weekly Choral Evensong plus annual Advent and Christmas concerts, augmented by instrumentalists from the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra at Artis-Naples. Trinity holds an 18th-century antique organ (signed by the Friederici family of Gera, Germany in 1751, acquired in 2013), a 1983 Hill & Tyre harpsichord, a Miner Calliope calliope, and four cast bronze tower bells installed by the Verdin Company in 2019. Technology is operational rather than proprietary: a SnapPages website, SoundCloud sermon archives, live streaming, Zoom for weekday worship, onRealm for online giving and member management, and a Trinitarian newsletter.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary contributions. Primary streams include tithes and offerings (one-time and recurring via onRealm), the "A Firm Foundation" capital campaign for a replicated and elevated storm-resilient church ($10M raised to date), the Church Mouse thrift shop, the annual Christmas Market (vendor fees and proceeds), community dinner donations through the Pray. Eat. Grow. program, and gifts of stock and securities. Following Hurricane Ian in September 2022 (which destroyed the pipe organ and caused $2M+ in damage) and Hurricane Milton in October 2024, the parish is executing a multi-year capital program that includes a new Dobson Pipe Organ Builders instrument (construction began 2026, installation planned 2027) housed in a reconstructed, elevated worship facility.
