Trinity Commons is the Episcopal Campus Ministry Center for greater Birmingham. We serve all students in the Birmingham area and have a presence on campus at The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), Birmingham Southern College (BSC), and Samford University. We welcome and affirm all people because God welcomes and affirms all, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religion, culture, ability, financial status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

We are a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. The Episcopal Church is part of the Anglican Communion, which is a community of 80 million members in 44 regional and national member churches in more than 160 countries.

Worship times

Sunday

6:00 pm

English

Our principle worship service is the celebration of Holy Eucharist (Lord’s Supper). On Sundays, our service includes vestments and hymns. The service is in two parts. In the Liturgy of the Word, we read from Scripture, including readings from the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and Gospels. A sermon or homily is offered, and we offer prayers for our selves, each other, and our community. In the Liturgy of the Table, we recall God’s work of salvation through Jesus Christ. As Jesus commanded us, we share Bread and Wine in remembrance of Christ. Our on-campus services are a bit simpler (no singing and fewer readings).
