Holy Trinity Church, Adelaide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican church on North Terrace, in the city of Adelaide, South Australia. Trinity is the largest Anglican church in South Australia[citation needed] with over 1200 people attending each Sunday.[citation needed]
Holy Trinity is known as 'The pioneer church of South Australia'. The foundation stone was laid by Governor Hindmarsh in 1838, within two years of the settlement of the Adelaide (see History of Adelaide). It was rebuilt and enlarged in 1844 and again in 1888.[1] Early trustees included James Hurtle Fisher and Charles Sturt. [2] The church clock was made by Vulliamy, the clockmaker to King William IV and Queen Adelaide.[1]
Today it is an evangelical and conservative Anglican church with a large congregation. Its main campus is adjacent to the University of South Australia (Uni SA), City West campus. Through its involvement with the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students on tertiary campuses it also has links to the Evangelical Union[3] at Adelaide University and the Uni SA City campuses with Geoff Lin being Senior Staff Worker with EU and University Ministry Coordinator at Holy Trinity[4].
Although it has strong associations with the Sydney Diocese[citation needed] and recruits some staff from Moore Theological College in Sydney[citation needed], Trinity is part of the Adelaide Diocese and has an increasing number of locally trained staff.
Holy Trinity has planted two daughter churches: Trinity Hills, in the Adelaide Hills and Trinity Bay, in the Adelaide sea-side suburb of Hove.
