Trinity Church, located in the center of the Historic District in Southport, Connecticut, has been a center of worship and Christian community since 1724.
Our current building, the sixth in our history, was constructed in 1862. Its majestic spire has provided a symbol of God’s Spirit in our community to all who have worshipped here.
