Trinity Episcopal Church
Prominently located in Main Street, Trinity’s spire is a soaring symbol of faith, worship, and outreach to all who pass by. Since 1874, the parish has been offering worship and fellowship without interruption. 2024 We will be celebrating our 150th anniversary.
Everyone who comes to Trinity mentions the warmth and welcome they feel immediately upon entering our church. This fellowship and friendliness encourages visitors to return - in fact, we consider it a major recruiting tool.

“What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a wise man, I would do my part; Yet what can I give Him- Give my heart.”
— Christian Rossetti
Those big red church doors
Story by Bruce Michaud
My sister, Christie, got a call from a Baptist friends who asked her, “Why do Episcopal churches all have their main doors painted red?” Christie turned to her brother, of course - supposed to be an expert on all things ecclesiastical.
It is not a universal Anglican practice, but our doors here at Trinity, are painted red, and so were the doors of other parishes. According to my sources, people in medieval times understood that a soldier could not pursue an enemy who had entered through the red doors of a church. That’s because the red doors had come to symbolize refuge and sanctuary for all who entered.
