About Us
Our Mission
To offer beautiful, reverent, and transformative worship to God, form disciples of Jesus Christ, and serve our neighbors
Our Community
Trinity Church was established in 2010 by the union of two parishes, The Church of the Epiphany in Allendale and The Church of the Good Shepherd in Midland Park. Thus, Trinity represents the ongoing presence of The Episcopal Church in this part of New Jersey since 1872.
Trinity is a community made up of faithful and loving parishioners with a deep commitment to reverent worship in the Anglican tradition, warm fellowship and hospitality, and compassionate service and love for our neighbors.
