Trinity Episcopal Church

What Trinity Episcopal Church does

Trinity Episcopal Church is a religious nonprofit parish located in Midtown Houston at 1015 Holman Street, operating within the Diocese of Texas and affiliated with The Episcopal Church. It conducts three Sunday worship services (8:00 am, 10:30 am, 12:30 pm) supplemented by weekday offerings including Evening Prayer and Spanish Compline, with a Jazz/Gospel Eucharist among its distinctive formats. Beyond worship, Trinity runs a multi-layered formation program for children, youth, families, and adults, and maintains an active community engagement portfolio: the Sandwich Makers meal program (serving 50+ underhoused individuals daily Monday through Friday), a sidewalk Listening Post ministry, volunteer support for Interfaith Ministries Houston's Meals on Wheels (1,700+ homebound seniors served regionally), a long-running Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, immigration advocacy through the Migration with Dignity Coalition (founded at Trinity), and arts programming via the Holman Street Art Gallery and Morrow Chapel featuring Kermit Oliver's painting The Resurrection.

The parish's digital stack is anchored on Realm, a third-party church management platform used for online giving, member login, and event registration, with native iOS and Android apps enabling mobile engagement and donations. The website at trinitymidtown.org integrates The Events Calendar plugin for schedule management, Constant Contact for The Weekly Window email newsletter, and Cloudflare for email protection; active social channels on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube support livestreamed services and community communications. The church self-identifies as a "Proud LGBTQIA Affirming Congregation."

Trinity's revenue is generated almost entirely through voluntary congregational giving: weekly tithes and offerings, online donations (including a text-to-give keyword, HEARTOFMIDTOWN to 73256), and an annual pledge campaign with fulfillment on weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annual cadences. Ancillary paid offerings include tiered flower dedications at $70-$210 depending on altar location and Coffee Hour sponsorships. There are no membership fees, no tuition programs, and no public revenue disclosure; financial figures are not available on the church's website.
