Rooted in faith. Moving forward in hope.

Trinity Church has stood as a beacon of worship, learning, and service in Princeton for nearly 200 years. As we prepare for the next chapter, we are launching a $7.5 million comprehensive campaign to ensure our ministries thrive and our historic campus is preserved for generations to come.

Inspired by the beloved hymn, God of Grace and Glory, this campaign reflects our gratitude for God’s past provision and our collective call to invest in Trinity’s future.

 Campaign Priorities

A stronger Trinity tomorrow begins with what we strengthen today.

Place: Buildings & Grounds

 

Funds will support the care and maintenance of Trinity’s sacred buildings and grounds, which require $500,000 annually to remain safe, welcoming, and inspiring.

Purpose: Music Program, Faith Formation, Pastoral Care, Family Ministries, & Community Outreach

 

Support for clergy, music, family ministries, and outreach ensures that Trinity remains a spiritually rich, multigenerational community serving Princeton and beyond.

Promise: Trinity Fund

 

Campaign gifts will grow the Trinity Fund, Trinity’s reserve investment account, providing long-term stability and reducing the need for excessive annual draws.

 

 Planned Giving: Your Legacy, Trinity’s Future

Planned gifts to the 1833 Society help ensure that Trinity’s ministries, music, and historic campus continue to thrive long into the future.

Planned gifts are counted at their estimated face value toward our $7.5 million comprehensive campaign goal, and if you’ve already made a provision for Trinity in your estate, we encourage you to let us know so we can celebrate your generosity and include your gift in this effort.

The God of Grace & Glory Comprehensive Campaign seeks to raise $2.5 million in planned gifts for Trinity’s 1833 Society as part of the overall $7.5 million campaign goal. This will include bequests , beneficiary designations, and other types of legacy commitments that donors make through their estate plans.

We would be honored to talk with you confidentially about your intentions and how you can be part of securing Trinity’s legacy.

Campaign Events

Join us for a Campaign Celebration as we Kick Off the School Year!

Saturday, September 6 at 4pm

We are thrilled to invite you to a joyful gathering in support of God of Grace and Glory—the bold and prayerful comprehensive campaign for the future of our beloved church.

Please RSVP here


This special event is for families who are involved with, or who are passionate about supporting, Trinity’s children and family ministries. Come enjoy local food, drinks, and frozen treats on the 18th-century farm of parishioner Patrick Beers and his fiancee, Liz Perry. This gathering will give families the chance to meet new staff members Anne Thomsen Lord, Director of Family Ministries, and Catherine Breed, Family Ministries Advisor as we begin the school year- and will explore how the campaign will help sustain these ministries well into the future.

Parents and children are invited to come together for a fun and casual gathering focused on Trinity’s family ministries. As we head into a new program year, we’ll celebrate the importance of faith formation for all ages and share how the campaign will strengthen this ministry in the years ahead.
