Our History

Our History

Trinity Parish, Florida’s first Protestant Church, has a remarkable history spanning over two centuries. From our inception during Florida’s transition to U.S. territory, Trinity has been a steadfast beacon of Christian faith and community commitment since 1821. Trinity has weathered epidemics and wars, steadily expanding both physically and spiritually. In 2024 Trinity Parish continues its journey of growth and renewal, opening our North Campus at 6350 CR 16a, expanding upon our commitment to serving our congregation and community and sharing the Good News that “Jesus Christ spread out his arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that all might come within reach of his saving embrace.”
– BCP, 101
