We are a community of Christians who walk together by faith. We are welcoming, inclusive, dedicated to helping those in need, committed to the development of our children in faith, and part of a communion of like-minded parishes all over the US and the world. Trinity Episcopal Church was established in 1976 in The Woodlands, TX and has grown to be one of the larger parishes in the Diocese of Texas, with an average Sunday attendance of roughly 500 families. We offer a range of Outreach Ministries, assisting seniors, families, and the homeless in the area. In addition, Trinity houses two programs for children aged 6 weeks through 12 years.

Trinity Episcopal Day School
Accredited through the Southwest Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES) and Licensed by the State of Texas.
The programs of Trinity Episcopal Day School (T.E.D.S.) are designed to meet the cognitive, social, emotional and spiritual needs of young children ages two through five. Through individualized attention, instruction and play, offered in a loving atmosphere, we seek to nourish and develop each child's special potential. In addition to basic motor skills and developmentally appropriate early academic expression, our programs cover creative movement, music, Spanish, earth sciences, math exploration, oral language development and more. The T.E.D.S.’ curriculum meets and/or exceeds CISD Early Childhood Benchmarks. As an Episcopal school, we end each school day with Chapel. Geared to a child's understanding, the children's liturgy combines singing, dramatic storytelling and lessons that model and teach Christian values. Character development and leadership are emphasized through the active roles children take in chapel services. Children are taught personal values rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, including responsibility, honesty, and sensitivity to the needs and rights of others.
