With over 700 years of history Holy Trinity Church offers a wealth of topics for a new history group that the church is launching in March 2016.

Dedicated to studying Holy Trinity’s enthralling history the new group will meet at lunchtime on the third Tuesday of each month. The first meeting is on March 15th 2016 at 12 o’clock in the church and is open to anyone interested in finding out more about the history of Holy Trinity.

Holy Trinity's pioneer minister Rev Matt Woodcock is set to take on some extra responsibilities in the wider Hull area to help encourage church growth.

Matt has been appointed the new Deanery Mission Enabler offering support and advice to those churches who are seeking to grow and develop their mission work. He has been on the national team of Leading Your Church Into Growth for over four years and he will also be supporting some of the churches from the deanery attending the diocesan conference in September.

Work is well underway on the churchyard of Hull’s Holy Trinity Church to create a fabulous, uninterrupted and completely renovated open area in Trinity Square.

The redevelopment of Trinity Square, including the grounds of Holy Trinity, is a key element of the multi-million pounds transformation of  the public realm in Hull city centre. 

Holy Trinity has launched a week of prayer and parties.

A range of events and activities are going on for all ages as a way of celebrating all that God is doing and committing to Him all that is planned for 2016.

Holy Trinity’s pioneer minister Revd Matt Woodcock, who is helping to co-ordinate the week, said: “Jesus loved to pray and party. In doing so he gave us a picture of what the Kingdom of God is like. We want to be a church which prioritises prayer and parties."

Two Hull priests are encouraging an online congregation to talk about faith through a new podcast.

Rev Ben Norton, who ministers in Kingswood, and Rev Matt Woodcock, one of the clergy team at Holy Trinity Church, have teamed up to launch the ‘King City Revs’ project.

Their monthly magazine-style podcast includes discussion, guests, laughs and reflections. The two revs are encouraging people from all walks of life to get in touch and join in ‘the faith conversation’.

The theme of change is tackled in the first podcast. It includes interviews with a Hull pub landlady, inspiration from St Brendan and debate over whether men should leave a kiss at the end of text messages. It concludes with the Lord’s Prayer said in the foyer of Hull’s Vue Cinema. The cinema chain recently banned it from an advert for being potentially offensive to people.

Work has begun at historic Holy Trinity Church after the green light was given for the transformation of Hull’s most amazing place.

The Vicar of Holy Trinity, Chair of the church’s development trust and the project manager for the works joined with Garry Taylor, City Manager, Major Projects and Infrastructure, from Hull City Council, to mark the start of phase one of the scheme.

It comes after approval from the Diocese of York for extensive external works including a complete revamp of the Holy Trinity churchyard by contractors carrying out Hull City Council’s multi-million pound transformation of the public realm in Hull city centre. The approval, subject to conditions, by the Chancellor of the Diocese of York follows the granting of planning permission by Hull City Council last April.

Trinity Square is a building site but Holy Trinity Church is still open to the public for day time visits and evening services and looks forward to welcoming you this Christmas.   During the public realm work in the square please use the entrance on South Churchside. King William House Car Park on Market Place (APCOA) is helping us throughout the Christmas season by providing car parking spaces for all their evening events on a pay and display basis.

They are donating 20% of their evening parking profits to Holy Trinity Development Trust who hope to redevelop the shop within the church. The church has taken delivery of some beautiful new cafe furniture just in time for Christmas which has been paid for by the Development Trust.

On Monday 21st December members of Holy Trinity Choir will be joined by others of the congregation in singing carols in the old town. Any money raised will go towards restoring the organ to its full glory (for details click the image)

A rare and world-renowned organ, the instrument is unchanged since it was rebuilt by John Compton in 1937-38, retaining some parts dating from the 18th century. With 104 speaking stops and over 4,000 pipes, it is the largest parish church organ in the UK. Come to a recital or a service to experience its inspiring sound. 

For the past two days our chapel has been open  for anyone wanting to light a candle and #PrayForParis.

On Sunday we held a minutes silence at each of our three services in memory of those who died and in solidarity with the people of Paris
