Holy Trinity Anglican Church
The Holy Trinity Anglican Church has chosen to direct common focus on the biblical ideas of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. Holy Trinity are a Parish of 5 churches consisting of 5 congregations of people. Whilst enjoying the fellowship and unity of being one Parish Holy Trinity they also enjoy the differences that exist throughout congregations. An obvious difference is the style of service that each of their congregations partake in.

As well they have one fortnightly service, which is a relaxed prayer book service where your questions and thoughts can be freely aired and discussed and a monthly service which allows for interaction and reflective thinking. Wedding Ceremonies are welcomed.
