Trinity Wall Street
New York, NY
Located at the head of Wall Street, Trinity Church has been part of New York City's and our nation's history since its charter in 1697. Today, the organization has grown to include many important areas of focus and is collectively known as Trinity Wall Street. Most importantly, we are an Episcopal parish offering daily worship services and faith formation programs at Trinity Church, St. Paul's Chapel, and online at trinitywallstreet.org.
