Worldwide Mission

HTC believe God’s mission extends to the whole world, and is largely to be carried forward through His followers. Right from His earliest covenant with Abraham, He promised, ‘I will make you into a great nation …. and all people on earth will be blessed through you’ (Genesis 12v2-3). This is part of following Jesus’ teaching:

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you - Matt 28v19-20.

I was hungry and you gave me food

I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me - Matt 25v35-36.

Blessed are the peacemakers

for they will be called children of God - Matt 5v9.

At Holy Trinity we seek to be part of God’s worldwide mission by supporting around twelve mission agencies, through prayer, regular information updates, and financial partnership. Some of our church members are personally involved in these missions. Holy Trinity gives away 10% of its voluntary giving income to outside charities and mission agencies, which may be local, national or international.

**HTC Mission Focus for December 2024**
The Church Urban Fund is a national charity with a vision for every person in need to have access to a community of support. It works with local churches and their leaders to serve and strengthen their communities. They work with and invest in local people, churches and community groups to tackle urgent issues: e.g. supporting people out of homelessness; identifying those people in greatest need (e.g. those in food poverty) and helping churches plan their response; and welcoming refugees. They support: the Together Network (coordinating the work of 15 Christian charities); the Just Finance Foundation (providing financial education within schools and to families to help build financially resilient communities); and Near Neighbours (focused on community leadership training for young people).

Planning your Visit

Planning your visit

A Warm Welcome.

Church front view-Night You are very welcome to visit our 900-year old Church, whether to take in the history, to pray, to light a candle, to write a prayer request, or just to sit and have some space.

For visiting during the week

We are usually open for visitors and private prayer: Wednesday to Saturday, 11.00am to 3.00pm and Sunday, 12.30pm (after the morning services) until 4.30pm. Our welcome team should be around to greet you and take any questions at these times.

To see the clergy (Revd Canon Richard Hibbert or Revd Carolyne Powell) , please contact the church office to make an appointment.

There is a Holy Communion service most Wednesdays at noon, lasting approximately 40 minutes and followed by refreshments. It takes place in the Marler Chapel, which is within the main church building.

For visiting on Sundays

We have three services:

Though varying in style and types of worship, each helps us to explore and understand the love of God and what that means to our lives.

Over summer holiday periods and at special times, like Easter, Harvest and Christmas, we often change our Sunday services to bring the two main morning congregations (9.30am and 11.15am) together at 10.30am.

Please check our Church calendar to know our service timings.

Children

If you have children, pre-schoolers have their own carpeted area with toys where you can sit comfortably as a family and still be part of the service. Primary and Secondary children may join an age-appropriate activity group for part of the service when announced.

Parking

There are council car parks in Salt Lane and West Orchard, a short walk to the church. Disabled parking is available on Cuckoo Lane (CV1 5RN), very close to the church, but from Monday to Saturday only (10am-6pm) requires an ANPR permit – available from the office. There is no general parking available at the church.

Please refer to our Church calendar or our Latest News letter to know What’s On.

We’d love to welcome you to any of the services listed here. For more information on each of the church services and Who we are, follow the links below.
