i am new

Perhaps you’ve just moved into the area or are visiting and are looking to see what’s going on in the community? Have you been living here for some time but are new to Holy Trinity? Have you been coming to church for a while but would like to meet some new people? Or maybe you’re looking to see what is happening in order to get involved in something new?

At Holy Trinity

You will find a community of ordinary people on a journey together – people like everyone else, experiencing the joys and pressures of life today as we try to live out an ancient faith in a 21st century city: shared stories of our past, the reality of the present and the dreams for the future finding a home in a living faith community. We each have a story to share, a story of our lives and of God’s impact on them. We each have a faith in Jesus that we try to connect with our everyday lives. Our vision is that in sharing our story, by living our lives with God and growing in our faith, each person and our whole community may genuinely deepen their relationship with God.

We believe in a church which aspires to welcome all as you are to find God, no matter your economic position, marital status, age, gender, race, physical ability, mental health or sexuality. We love being a diverse intergenerational community and it is important to us to worship together as one family. We warmly welcome same-sex couples to come and celebrate their relationships with prayers for God’s blessing, using the newly-commended Prayers of Love and Faith.

We are all on a journey of faith and recognise that people find themselves on different paths along the way but it is our prayer that, together, we can discover more of God, the love of Jesus and the presence of the Spirit.

Our recently formed Parish of Holy Trinity and Saint Stephen’s Bristol (also known as the benefice of Bristol Harbourside Churches) stretches from the edge of Castle Park to Cumberland Basin (east to west) and from Cumberland Road to Cornwallis Crescent and the Bear Pit (south to north).

Hopefully there’s something for everyone on the website but if you’d like to find out more please join us on a Sunday at 10:30am and one of our welcomers will be on hand to answer any questions you might like to ask. If you would like one of our ministers to contact you please email info@holytrinityhotwells.org
