The Trinity Episcopal Church building was built in 1857 in the town of Washington, Virginia. It is a country Gothic style church with an exterior originally of board and batten and later, covered in pebble-dash stucco in 1924. James Leake Powers, the master craftsman hired to build the church in 1857, had worked with Thomas Jefferson in building the University of Virginia.

Trinity Episcopal Church

Trinity welcomes you, just as you are, to share in the transforming power of God’s love.

Trinity Church was built in Bromfield Parish, which was formed in 1752. Construction on Trinity Church began on Saturday, May 30, 1857, 105 years after the parish’s formation. The cornerstone was laid by the Masonic Lodge of Washington in a special communication. A copper box was placed within the stone, containing:

  • A Book of Common Prayer
  • The Journal of the 61st Annual Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Virginia
  • The Episcopal Recorder
  • The Southern Churchman
  • The Masonic Mirror
  • “Dew Drops,” a small book by J.E. Dow, a local schoolmistress at Washington Academy
  • Several 5-cent coins
  • Two dimes
  • A quarter
  • A 50-cent piece
  • A gold dollar

Construction of Trinity Church was completed by late fall of the same year.  

Trinity has three Sunday services:

8:00 AM – Holy Eucharist Rite I

10:30 AM – Holy Eucharist Rite II 

5:00 PM- Holy Eucharist with Healing Prayer

Please note the Sanctuary is always open, all are welcome.
