Welcome to the new Holy Trinity Episcopal Church Web site!
Holy Trinity Parish is called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord, to encourage new disciples, to nurture those within the fellowship, and to demonstrate God’s love and mercy to all. We’re living the gospel in downtown Gainesville.

As Holy Trinity’s historian, I have been invited to a Diocesan Historian’s gathering at Trinity in St. Augustine in early May. I’ve been asked to take along a copy of our church history. Hmm. Which one to take: the wonderful anecdotal Ben Richards’ history that takes us to 1939? Or the comprehensive 1991 booklet assembled by the Women of the Church, with its invaluable list of rectors, historic time lines, and pictures; it’s my quick reference for most facts…up to the fire and the commitment to rebuild. Then there is our published history by George Bentley, bringing us through the rebuilding and up to 1998, the year that I joined Holy Trinity. There are limited copies of the Richards, but I can easily take along copies of the other two histories. Continue reading…
