- the Parish House located behind the church, built in 1957, which houses the offices, Guild Room and Sunday School classrooms
- the Rectory
The stewardship of our lovely neo-gothic church building, which has graced the Branford green since 1852, is a labor of love and elbow grease. While some things require regular vendors, others tasks are accomplished by handy members of the congregation.
Restoration
By August 2020 a 1 & 1/2 year renovation was completed, funded by the generosity of the congregation, The Foote Family Charitable Trust, community friends and more. The $2 million renovation included much needed mitigation systems for asbestos removal, water drainage and humidity control, plus new electrical systems, two replacement steel foundation sill beams for the east and west long walls of the church, installation of an elevator with an elevated access ramp from the sidewalk, brand new stainless steel kitchen, modernization of community meeting and event spaces, addition of Internet/Wifi throughout, and more. All of Trinity's community space is accessible to everyone.
Rectory
This lovely red New England saltbox design is the home of the Rector. Numerous parish life events are hosted there.
Grounds
Because the church sits on the Town Green, there is little property for us to maintain. Routine maintenance of landscaping around the church buildings, which includes several memorial gardens, is overseen by this ministry.
