Trinity Episcopal Church

The story of Marble Falls Trinity Episcopal Church is one of growth, inspired by and realized through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Evidence of this growth is multifaceted.

• Expansion from Mission status (1955) Parish status (1991);
• Expansion of the physical plant from small sanctuary, narthex, and kitchen to new sanctuary, narthex, kitchen, classrooms, offices, and nursery (2002-2005)
• Addition of fellowship hall, expanded sanctuary and narthex space (Dick and Marian Repert bequest--2011-2015);
• Expansion to Multi-clergy staff:  Rev. Dave Sugeno, Rector, 2009-present;  and Rev. Cathy Boyd, Associate Rector (2013–present);
• Addition of informal worship service on first Wednesday nights;
• Increased focus on outreach to community, evidenced by $75,000 grant program for non-profits, doubled funding for outreach in annual budget, addition of new ministries, and priority use of fellowship hall for outreach
• Spiritual growth of congregation, achieved through strong education for Ministry participation, adult and youth formation, parish book club; women’s Bible study, men’s Bible study. 

These indicators of growth show a vibrant church endeavoring to follow Christ through the ministries of worship, education, and service.  In so doing, through God’s grace, may we become a major Christian presence in the Highland Lakes area, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
