Holy Trinity Church is a thriving evangelical Anglican church, within the Diocese of Gloucester, at the heart of Tewkesbury Town Centre. We are known for our friendly and relaxed atmosphere and love to welcome everyone to share in our community life.

We cater for all ages from young to old. We have a flourishing junior church with many children and young people and our Children's Worker and Youth Pastor oversee a range of activities on Sunday mornings and throughout the week at church, in schools and in the community. 

Our adult members are supported through mid-week Life Groups and are encouraged to join with others serving on one of teams that contribute to making Holy Trinity a place where we do life together.

Our desire is to see each individual grow in faith and relationship with God and find the fulness of life that can only be found through Jesus.

Our tradition varies between mid and high Anglo-catholic depending on the service. Many people also come to the abbey as a place to pray and candles are available to be lit any time as a sign of our prayers.
