Welcome to Holy Trinity Church, Taunton!
We are far more than a church which just has services on Sundays. There are regular services in both the church and the parish throughout the week, as we try to care for those who are able to come to church, and those who are not. We try to meet the spiritual, sacramental and pastoral needs of the young, the elderly, the fit and the not so fit, the committed and the seeking. As well as formal services, there are also regular informal services, meetings and discussion groups.

The Parish
Holy Trinity Church Taunton is one of the largest Church of England parishes in Taunton. Situated in the south east of the town, the parish extends from close to the town centre all the way out to the M5. The parish church is just 100 yards behind East Reach, the main road into the town centre from the Bridgwater exit of the motorway or A38.

Facilities
The Church itself has a hearing loop and sound system and disabled access. There is plenty of room for pushchairs or wheelchairs; large print books are always available. For the young, there are busy bags. Toilets are available, but unfortunately internal sanitation was not high on the Victorian builders’ agenda, and they are not presently easily accessible for those with mobility difficulties! The two hall buildings on the church site are frequently used by the local community: a Playgroup, Folk Dancers, Weight Watchers, Table Tennis players all have regular bookings, and the halls are also available for private hire at competitive rates.

Music
Having a superb organ (and organist) as well as outstandingly clear acoustics, Holy Trinity Church is often used for concerts throughout the year, by recitalists or groups and choirs. There is always an evening of music and readings performed by local primary and secondary school children which is very popular and successful, as well as more formal concerts. Usually, there is a liturgical performance of one of the great composers’ masses – a rare opportunity to hear the music performed in the context for which it was composed.

Eucharist
Holy Trinity Church is essentially a sacramental church, and worship is centred on the Eucharist, which is celebrated every day except Mondays. Most of the services use modern language, the main service being the 10am Parish Eucharist on Sundays, which is both modern yet traditional. Children are always welcome, and a Sunday School meets at the same time. Also on Sundays, there is Evensong every week, using the Prayer Book.

Details of all events, services and meetings at Holy Trinity Church are available on a weekly notice sheet from the church, or else the parish magazine, ‘Outlook’. Or you can contact us for more information.
