Trinity Episcopal Church

Our Mission

We believe that the door to salvation is always open and so are the doors to our church. Our mission is to be fully devoted to Jesus by opening our arms to those in search of the truth. We show God’s love and concern for our fellow man at every opportunity. Through works of charity and opening our doors to listen and love, we feel that we are walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

The cornerstone of Trinity Church, Gouverneur, was laid on September 10, 1866. The church was dedicated free from debt July 29, 1869, by the first Rt. Rev. William Croswell Doane. Trinity was admitted into the Albany Diocese the following convention in 1870. Except for the addition of the narthex in the late 1950’s, Trinity Church has remained the same as when it was built. Trinity remains to this day, the oldest original church structure within the community of Gouverneur. The photo shown here was taken during its 150th anniversary celebration.
