What are Some of Trinity's Ministries?
At Trinity Episcopal Church, we believe that God has gifted each person with knowledge, a talent or skills to share. We know that inside every individual is the potential to make a positive difference in the world. We may be called to serve in a worship or educational ministry within the parish, or to help serve the wider community by providing food or clothing.
What's your calling? If you are interested in helping Trinity Collinsville, we are eager to learn more. Please email the parish office. We will answer your questions and hopefully connect you with a ministry that utilizes your gifts and fills your spirit.
More to come; this section is still under construction!

What are Some of Trinity's Ministries?
Christian Formation seeks to create a nurturing and hospitable environment where all church members can grow in mind and body, heart and spirit. This is achieved through programs and service projects both within Trinity and in the greater community. We offer online Bible Study on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. If you’re interested in joining the group, contact Rick Richardson at RickRichardson@mac.com.

Welcoming / Pastoral Care
Welcoming / Pastoral Care
Welcoming / Pastoral Care
The Pastoral Care/Welcoming ministry connects with and supports members of the Trinity community, whether they are longtime members or newcomers. During 2021, Trinity members conducted two "caravans" of Church members who went out in pairs to bring cheer, small gifts and a friendly visit to those in our church who chose not to leave their homes during the worst months of the pandemic.
We are seeking parishoners to to occasionally pitch in with pastoral care -- to make a phone call, write a note, pay a visit, or prepare and deliver a meal. If you feel called to share in this ministry, please contact Karanne Farling at
(860) 651-9753 or (860) 707-9850.
Miriam's Closet
Welcoming / Pastoral Care
Welcoming / Pastoral Care
Miriam's Closet provides gently used work attire to people of all genders who need an outfit for a job interview or a few items when starting a job. While the pandemic forced the Closet's temporary shutdown in 2020, adults who need items for a job search can contact Mimi's Closet by email at office@trinitycollinsville.org.
Volunteers will again be needed to help sort, size and transport items once the Closet reopens. For now, Miriam's Closet cannot accept more items. Anyone seeking to donate clothing is encouraged to contact Avon Gifts of Love, Canton FAVARH, or New Hartford Hands of Grace.
