Parish Profile 2016

TrinityFW.org 260-423-1693

Greetings!

We are delighted to share this narrative profile of Trinity Episcopal Church with those discerning a call to serve as our rector. To create it, we listened to parishioners, reviewed our history as well as considered our present, and reflected and prayed over hopes for Trinity’s future. We pray it is a true reflection of who we are as a Christian community that enjoys a unique blend of tradition and progression.

With each aspect of Trinity presented here, we include brief statements about what Trinity values, what Trinity envisions, and what Trinity hopes our next rector will bring as our pastor, leader, teacher, and energizer.

We are excited about Trinity’s future! We give thanks for the past ten years of ministry by the Rev. Dr. Thomas P. Hansen, whose faith in God and in us supported our successful capital campaign, encouraged collaboration, and revealed opportunities for Trinity to bring God’s love to and share with our neighbors, as with our new labyrinth.

Truly, this is a great time to be at Trinity! It’s also a great time to live in Fort Wayne. Indiana’s second largest city is on the move — particularly with exciting downtown development driven by vision and investment. Trinity is proud to be one of the historic churches that stayed downtown; now we are enjoying the renaissance! We want to do so actively, growing our congregation as well as the impact of our ministries.

Each Sunday, we pray:

Almighty God, giver of every good gift, you have entrusted Trinity to call a pastor to inspire us with your Word and Sacraments. Guide the hearts and minds of those who shall choose a rector for our parish. Grant us your peace, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind that we may receive a faithful shepherd who shall care for your people and equip us for our ministries, all to the glory of your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Thank you for reading this profile and for your prayerful discernment.

Worship

Worship at Trinity is a joining of hearts in praise of our Triune God and in prayer for his whole creation. We draw strength and perspective from God’s table and his Word. Our liturgical life is grounded in the Book of Common Prayer and takes several forms.

We offer two worship opportunities on Sunday mornings. The 7:30 a.m. Eucharist service follows Rite I and is a spoken, contemplative service. The 10:00 a.m. service is Rite II and offers flexibility in the Prayers of the People, allowing for unique and relevant prayers. Service music includes chant and choral responses juxtaposed with traditional hymns from The Hymnal, 1982 and other more contemporary pieces. The adult choir seeks to illuminate the liturgy with psalm tones and weekly anthems. The choir’s repertoire is extensive, ranging from contemporary to gospel to high Anglican Tudor. On special occasions, the children and youth choirs also provide service music.

A 9:30 a.m. service on Friday mornings, held in our Blessed Sacrament Chapel, offers a more intimate setting for our worship. The service includes unction and is followed by a Bible study.

Seasonal services are offered throughout the Church

year, highlighted by evensong, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services, and Holy Week services including Stations of the Cross, the Triduum, including the Easter Vigil and glorious Easter Day celebrations.

We celebrate and serve in community, recognizing that worship happens any time hearts, minds, and spirits join in a common purpose to glorify God.

Trinity values:• Beautiful and creative worship that raises “traditional” to a soul-stirring level • Liturgy that enlightens God’s Word and sacraments • Sharing our worship experience with newcomers and the greater community

Our vision:• Deepened faith for all who worship here • Worship that renews and inspires us to “go forth to serve the Lord”

We seek a rector who will:• Bring knowledge and passion for liturgical worship • Deepen our worship experience through preaching and creativity • Engage children and adults in worship service

Music

A significant part of worship at Trinity is our music. Trinity seeks to engage her parishioners in beautiful music that rightly ascribes to the Lord the glory due his name. Trinity’s affiliation with the Royal School of Music (RSCM) helps to define and support its musical mission. The motto of the RSCM is St. Paul’s declaration: “I will sing with the Spirit and I will sing with the mind also” — a declaration embraced by Trinity.

The musical life at Trinity Parish includes congregational participation, choral ensembles for all ages, instrumental offerings, community-related events, and a lending library of Anglican recordings.

The music program at Trinity has been a unifying source of inspiration throughout the years and is enthusiastically supported by parishioners of all ages. This support extended recently to a special project, accomplished in 2015, to rebuild our church’s pipe organ and console.

Trinity Friends of Music are contributors who underwrite a significant portion of Trinity’s music costs. These donations cover expenses not in the parish budget.

Music is a highly regarded facet of Trinity’s personality and presence in both the Anglican and the larger Fort Wayne communities.

In WorshipOur music, highlighted by our recently rebuilt Zimmer/Concord organ, is an important way we provide a spiritual environment for those who gather in celebration of the love of God through worship. Our Adult and Children’s Choirs actively engage their members in music education and presentation.

In OutreachThe Children’s Choir is jointly sponsored by Trinity and Wellspring Interfaith Social Services and is for children in 2nd grade and up. The choir sings in church for special programs.

MAY@Trinity (Musical Arts for Youth at Trinity) makes available musical experiences for children from diverse backgrounds, including youth from the

parish and Wellspring. The program has also been popular among home-schooled children. MAY@Trinity offers Youth Choir and instruction in baroque recorder, piano, and hand bells.

In CommunityThe 150th anniversary of the laying of Trinity’s cornerstone was marked by an original composition for choir, soloists, and orchestra. The work, entitled “Meditations,” was composed by Trinity’s precentor, Wayne Peterson. Wayne came to Trinity in 1987 after a national search that attracted more than 125 applicants. He is a graduate of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, a Fellow of the American Guild of Organists, and the founder and director of MAY@Trinity. He has served as the Diocesan Liturgy & Music Commission and Leadership Training Program Coordinator for our diocese.

Our “Music at Trinity” series presents a wide variety of music to our community by local, national, and international artists. This series has included Indiana University music faculty, the Fort Wayne Bach Collegium, the Eleganza Baroque Ensemble, and, most recently, internationally known organist Raul Prieto Ramirez.

Trinity continually seeks to offer, to her members and to the community, opportunities to experience God’s love and generosity through music.

Trinity values:• Music as a vital ministry and unifying source of inspiration• Music as a gift of outreach to our closest neighbors and to the greater Fort Wayne community• Our precentor, who skillfully enhances our liturgy and music and who enlightens children and adult choirs and

musicians with education about music and performance

Our vision:• Deepened faith through the inspiration of music for all who worship here or attend our special music performances• Continued opportunities to experience God’s love and generosity through music• To sustain and support the continuing ministry of our precentor

We seek a rector who will:• Value music as ministry • Enthusiastically engage Trinity’s music ministry for worship and outreach opportunities

Pastoral Care and Leadership

Trinity is a member parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana, led by Bishop Douglas Sparks. Trinity follows the Constitution & Canons of the Episcopal Church in the USA, the Canons of the Diocese of Northern Indiana, and its own parochial by-laws, which govern its day-to-day operations.

The parish employs a full-time Rector. The Rector is assisted by a Deacon, Rev. Gordon Samra, and supported by a staff that includes a full-time Office Manager, Sexton, and other part-time positions.

The members of Trinity minister to each other, following the Gospel teaching that pastoral care is not the exclusive domain of the clergy (2 Corinthians 3:4-6: “…[He] has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant.”). We act in love to support each other in times of hardship, grief, or illness. We desire a Rector who gladly serves with us, valuing how being present reflects the presence of Jesus Christ, in living rooms, waiting rooms, and hospice care.

The term “leadership” used here refers both to pastoral and lay leadership. We generally view pastoral leadership as ministry grounded in Scripture and

sound theology that encourages us to be bold in faith in today’s troubled world, to deal gracefully with change and conflict when they arise within our parish, and to help us see what good works God has prepared for us to walk in.

The operation of the parish is managed by the Vestry, which consists of 12 members elected by the congregation. Each member serves a 3-year term, and the terms are staggered. The election of the Vestry occurs at the annual meeting of the congregation in late January of each year. The Rector appoints a Senior Warden, the Vestry elects a Junior Warden, and the Rector chairs the monthly meetings of the Vestry.

The Vestry is served by the Treasurer and Clerk. It prepares an annual budget in the fall of each year and presents it to the congregation at the annual meeting. The Vestry has numerous commissions to fulfill its duties and carry out the various missions and ministries of the church. The current Vestry, support staff, and commissions are reflected on the organizational chart found in the Appendix.

Trinity values:• The Rector and Vestry working together as collaborative partners • Living our faith as ministers to each other

Our vision:• Courage to embrace diversity and change, respecting one another’s differences• To increasingly mirror Christ’s love to each other and to our neighbors

We seek a rector who will:• Work collaboratively with Vestry and other lay ministers • Embrace pastoral care • Equip us for our ministries • Act as a bridge builder, guiding us to live with tensions or sacrifices in order to be united in our faith

Christian Formation

Youth Christian Formation

In 2014, in response to a need expressed by the parish, Trinity launched a new faith formation program for youth. Parents and the congregation in general have been pleased with the resurgence of youth activities, expressing a strong interest in seeing this momentum continue. Currently, there are about twenty youth participants (not including six nursery-aged children) in faith formation programming.

Sunday school runs from September to May. In recent years, two classes have been offered with six rotating teachers, with an average of four youth per class. Trinity sees faith formation for youth as a vested interest for the whole parish, inviting parents and other parishioners to help in teaching. This has led to giving “Safeguarding God’s Children” training for teachers and volunteers as needed.

Trinity also hosts Christ Club, a Wednesday night program consisting of dinner, Bible discussion, and some free playtime. The club was initially formed by high school youth with the aim to empower teen leadership. Parents are also involved by bringing meals and using this time to fellowship with one another.

Youth are invited to participate in acolyte training. In 2015, Trinity gained five new acolytes who were trained by clergy and the youth director as part of Christ Club. Sacramental preparation also takes place with communion and confirmation instruction given

by clergy and volunteer teachers. In 2015, one youth celebrated confirmation and two others had their “first” communion. The youth are invited also to take an active role in the liturgy by volunteering as lectors for several services throughout the year.

The youth have participated in other ways in parish life, including volunteering to rake leaves at a parishioner’s home, making Christmas cards for homebound parishioners, hosting a “Cookie Cook-off,” and presenting a “prayer net” that reminds parishioners to pray for one another’s intentions.

Adult Christian Formation

Trinity has several formats of faith formation for adults, although the parish has expressed a desire to develop faith formation more.

Tea and Talk is a weekly group that meets between services on Sundays. The group varies its focus, often selecting books and articles to read and discuss and other times leaving the discussion open to topics of current and religious interests, engaging in a lively, perceptive, and spiritual conversation.

What We Seek in a Rector from Trinity’s Youth:

“I am looking for someone who can be more engaging, but I don’t want ‘children’s sermons.’ Just make the Gospel more relevant and interesting to us.” — Robert Beatty, age 14

“I’d like a rector who can help us have fun trips with other kids.” — Julia Beatty, age 12

“Gets along well with teenagers … modern, funny and can just hang out with the kids … doesn’t have to be serious all the time.” —Annika Akins, age 16

“Nice and caring.” — Xavier Madison, age 9

Trinity values:• Scripture, tradition, and reason as integrated elements that increase our knowledge and understanding

and inform our Christian journey• Offering Christian formation opportunities for people of all ages

Our vision:• More adult Christian formation options that help us learn, deepen our faith, and empower individuals

to identify and use their gifts for ministry• An energized and Christ-centered youth ministry that engages our young people and inspires them

to invite their friends

We seek a rector who will:• Enlighten and engage us in learning more about God’s Word and the doctrine of the Episcopal Church today • Empower us to learn and serve

During the coffee hour after the 10 a.m. service, Trinity often holds an adult forum. Topics and presenters vary and have included Emeritus Rector Fr. Cory Randall’s series on the Old Testament, representatives from nonprofit organizations like Matthew 25 health clinic and Habitat for Humanity, and presentations from youth and other parishioners. Fr. Randall has also led a Bible study that meets on Fridays.

Trinity has also developed formation opportunities related to its labyrinth, using both an indoor cloth labyrinth and the new permanent outdoor labyrinth. There have been workshops, walks, and meditations with a special opportunity in 2016 for a workshop and facilitator training in partnership with Veriditas.

Outreach

Trinity’s Outreach Ministry organizes opportunities for Trinity to make a greater impact in its service by partnering with local not-for-profit ministries. Our main partners are Just Neighbors, an interfaith hospitality ministry that provides housing and employment services to homeless families; the Rising Stars program of Associated Churches of Fort Wayne, which serves students, parents, and teachers at schools; and Wellspring Social Services, an interfaith ministry serving low-income and elderly residents, most of whom live in or close to downtown (truly, Trinity’s neighbors). Wellspring also uses Trinity’s Great Hall as a main location for its summer camp for neighborhood children.

Ministry opportunities are organized throughout the year and also receive funding from additional gifts

beyond annual pledge revenues. The idea of Trinity partnering with other agencies has bloomed beyond the Outreach Committee. For instance, since 2014, women of the church have participated in Habitat for Humanity’s Women’s Build project, and Trinity is a Community Builder sponsor for 2016. Trinity also reaches out to the community through the newly built Little Free Library, where donated books for both children and adults are shared with the community.

“I get so much more back from the people at Just Neighbors who are so strong, most of them so faithful, and they are working so hard to get back on their feet. Their attitude toward us and toward others who are living there in such difficult circumstances is so heartwarming. Volunteering there has increased my faith in God and my faith in my fellow man — not just the J.N. residents but also the people of Trinity who step up to help in so many ways.” — Linda Seney, Trinity Outreach Ministry

Trinity values:• Our community• Working together to serve each other and our neighbors

Our vision:• Renewed energy for service• A reputation in the community as a church actively engaged in service to others

We seek a rector who will:• Respect the unique dignity of each person and energize us to do the same • Join us as we serve our community

10

Trinity values:• Each other• Social activities in which we celebrate each other and our ministries

Our vision:• A supportive community within our parish• Finding joy and appreciation in our time together

We seek a rector who will:• Respect the diversity of our parish and encourage us to embrace our diversity • Join us in our celebrations

Parish Life

Parish life at Trinity is marked by service and delivered through fellowship. Even when small numbers of people come together to serve, the work is permeated by a spirit of family and camaraderie.

St. Barbara’s Guild provides fellowship and educational opportunities for the women of Trinity. Daughters of the King is a ministry of prayer. Members invite others to join them for times of reflection, including use of Trinity’s labyrinth. The labyrinth is a ministry of its own. Located outside on the west lawn of the church, the labyrinth is enjoyed by many Trinity may never know as they walk its path for prayerful meditation.

We also value Parish Life activities that help us come together to celebrate each other for social fellowship with activities such as an annual chili cook off, a Christmas party, and a party that occurs the Friday before Ash Wednesday. If a congregational meeting is warranted for some reason, just announce it’s a carry-in meal — people and food will show up in abundance!

Membership and Stewardship

MembershipTrinity’s membership includes Caucasians, African-Americans, and Asian Indian Americans, though the bulk is white. It has straight and gay members, and married, single and widowed members. They are liberal, moderate, and conservative, joined together by a shared appreciation for the Anglican tradition: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.”

In 2015, Trinity had a total of 329 adult members, down from 422 just a few years earlier. Moves and death have led the decline. However, some younger families cited not enough programming for youth as their reason for leaving. Efforts to remedy that deficiency with new programming have led to some stability in youth numbers. In the past couple of years, a vibrant New Member ministry has also worked to welcome visitors and encourage return attendance. Some families in Fort Wayne consider Trinity to be their parish home due to past family connections, though they no longer actively attend or support it.

While Trinity has members of all ages, a significant number are over age 70, and a sizable block are between 50 and 70. No demographic study has ever been conducted on the parish membership. Trinity has several families in their 30s and 40s with young children, as well as many couples with grown children, and a growing number of younger

singles in their 20s and 30s. In alignment with this distribution, income levels range from low to affluent to fixed.

The members of Trinity have many diverse occupations and no predominant employer. Many are professionals — doctors, lawyers, teachers, professors, and librarians — and many also work in or own businesses. Trinity attracts a number of people interested in the local arts scene, as do the other mainline downtown churches. Several present and former board members of the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra are among Trinity’s members along with the director of the Fort Wayne Ballet and the chair of the Indiana Arts Commission.

Trinity draws its membership from a fairly wide radius around greater Fort Wayne. The three Episcopal churches in the city have distinctive worship styles that attract different tastes. Most members make the trek downtown because they appreciate a traditional liturgy and music presented formally in a historical setting, though relatively few live close to the church. The majority of parishioners live in an area southwest of downtown in Aboite Township.

StewardshipRecent stewardship ministry activities at Trinity have aimed to help people grow in their relationship with Jesus through the use of the time, talents, and finances God has entrusted to them. Trinity

Our vision:• Growth in our membership• A congregation full of joyful givers who grow in their relationship with Jesus through the use of the time, talents,

and finances God has entrusted to them

We seek a rector who will:• Equip us as apostles to invite new people to worship and be engaged in our ministries • Provide a spiritual context for stewardship • Be actively involved in evangelism and stewardship ministries, energizing Vestry and other lay ministers

members support the church through annual giving, capital campaign giving, and planned giving — the latter now annually celebrated as Legacy Society members who have included Trinity in their estate plans.   

In 2016, Trinity’s operating budget totals $545,492.73. (A copy of our budget is found in the Appendix). There are 119 pledging units, with the average annual pledge being $2,903. The budget is also supported with many generous “plate” contributions each year, as well as by endowed funds as necessary. Trinity’s music ministry receives most of its support from those who contribute to Trinity’s Friends of Music fund. Altar flowers are also provided by additional gifts. Annual pledge payments and contributions to operating, music, and flower funds may be made by check or online through Trinity’s website.

Trinity values:• A balanced budget• Management and administrative systems that reflect best practices and professional standards• Transparency

Our vision:• A shared vision for what God is calling Trinity to do and to be• Strategic planning and decision-making that increase our capacity for ministry• Appreciation of God’s abundance that outshines fear of scarcity

We seek a rector who will:• Encourage and guide our Vestry, other lay leaders/ministers, and clergy to think and act

strategically to achieve a shared vision

Planning and Financial AdministrationAs mentioned, the Vestry is responsible for the operation of the parish, which includes managing finances. The annual budget is set in the fall after the annual stewardship campaign. This allows the Vestry to set realistic amounts for the various budget categories. A copy of the current budget can be found in the Appendix.

Trinity does not currently have a strategic plan in place. However, the Vestry and our rector have been engaging all ministries to help set direction and priorities for the parish. Strategic priorities for replacing the organ and improving accessibility grew out of a capital campaign discernment about five years ago. Our rector and Vestry have addressed these priorities as God has blessed Trinity with the resources to accomplish them.

In addition to the pledges of the congregation, the parish has several endowments that generate annual funds available for budgetary purposes, as well as funds for the occasional unanticipated expense. The aggregate value of the endowment funds is over $3,000,000.00. Each of the funds has different spending criteria, and the Vestry is charged with exercising its discretion regarding whether individual circumstances satisfy those criteria.

Capital campaigns and individual contributions are used for special projects, some recent examples of which include the HVAC overhaul, organ restoration, and new west entrance addition (presently in the final planning stages with construction to begin this fall).

14

Trinity values:• Our ability to support the Diocese of Northern Indiana with time, talent, and treasure

Our vision:• To find new opportunities to strengthen and expand our ministries through involvement in our diocese, the Episcopal

Church, and through ecumenical collaborations

We seek a rector who will:• Participate in the life of the diocese, discovering opportunities for members of Trinity to do the same• Help us connect to Episcopal and other resources for learning, ministry, and administration

Diocesan Connection

Trinity’s annual support of the Diocese of Northern Indiana at the requested assessment amount represents our appreciation for Diocesan leadership, communication, and ministries. In recent years, four members of Trinity participated in the Diocesan Congregational Development Institute. Trinity is represented on the Diocesan Commission on Ministry, and members have occasionally served on diocesan committees.

15

Trinity values:• Utilizing old and new ways of communicating that keep all of us informed and engaged in the life of Trinity• Transparency

Our vision:• Internal communications that inform, invite, and inspire our involvement• External communications, particularly through social media, that celebrate Trinity’s ministry and welcome new people

We seek a rector who will:• Embrace communication as a key ministry tool • Empower us to tell our stories

Communications

Trinity strives to have a variety of methods of communication to keep members, churchgoers, and the wider community informed of all that Trinity has to offer — from its clergy to regular services to outreach to special events. The communications committee has worked to maintain print communications, as some members prefer, but also to grow its social media and online presence.

Trinity’s weekly Sunday bulletin contains the announcements for the week as well as the prayer list and regular standing notices with information about hospital visitations, baptism dates, and more. To facilitate further communication, the bulletin also contains the names and emails for clergy, staff, and Vestry members and the names of commission chairs. Also a feature on the bulletins is a calendar of times and dates of regular weekly services and other happenings, like Wellspring events. The bulletin announcements and upcoming events are condensed and sent to parishioners in the mail in the form of a large postcard.

Also put out weekly is Trinity’s E-News. This email includes service times, links to the Sunday Scripture readings, and names of those serving in that week’s services. The E-News also includes the announcements for the week and any relevant links for more information.

Trinity has also developed a significant voice in community communications through local news coverage of special events, like the organ refurbishment and dedication and the addition of the labyrinth. Trinity also engages its members and the community with its active Facebook page, which posts regularly.

Trinity just launched a complete website redesign that has a clean look and easy navigation with the intention to improve the readability, timeliness, and usefulness of the website for both regular Trinity attendees and visitors, creating an online presence that reflects the love of music and worship, engagement, enthusiasm, and welcoming attitude of Trinity.

Buildings and Grounds

Trinity Church is situated in downtown Fort Wayne, just west of the central business district. The church campus extends to the full north side of the block of West Berry Street between Fulton and Broadway. It also includes much of the south side of the block along Wayne Street, except for two privately owned 19th century-era houses on either corner. The church’s neighbors include St. Joseph Hospital to the west, Plymouth Congregational Church to the east, Trinity English Lutheran Church a block away to the southeast, and Broadway Christian Church to the southwest. Two blocks to the east are the Allen County Public Library and the University of St. Francis’ downtown campus.

The church grounds include the historic church edifice at the corner of Berry and Fulton and a large

L-shaped office and classroom building that extends to the west. The building surrounds a landscaped garden known as “the Garth,” which includes a columbarium and a lawn often used in the summer for fellowship after church services. The lot to the west of the church includes a stone labyrinth, accessible to the public, at the corner of Berry and Broadway, as well as a Little Free Library. With its cornerstone laid in 1865, Trinity is the third oldest church building in downtown Fort Wayne and the most faithful to its original appearance. The walls consist of split-faced sandstone with limestone trim. Most of the slate roof, save for a few small repairs, dates to the late nineteenth century. The spire is sheathed in copper, and the tower below it contains a single bell that is activated electronically from the sanctuary. The edifice has a modified cruciform

shape with a main aisle, two side aisles, a chancel, and a sanctuary. A marble altar from 1873 stands beneath the reredos. In front of it is a freestanding altar on a platform that faces out to the congregation. The Eucharist is celebrated from this altar, and parishioners usually receive the sacrament kneeling at the altar rail. The altar can be moved to the front chancel steps for concerts and special musical events. Likewise the organ console, installed in 2015, can be moved within the chancel according to the service needs.

The parish has done much to maintain its aging edifice, and it remains overall in excellent condition. The building underwent extensive renovations in 1977 and again in 1985, during which time the roof and rafters were repaired and refinished, the original floor replaced, and the nave repainted in neutral colors with extensive gold stenciling. More recently, the church has done extensive waterproofing and sealing to its foundation and undercroft. A 2011 capital campaign raised money for a new heating and cooling system as well as new carpeting. The pews of the church, with attached kneelers, were installed in

the 1960s, and the church can seat comfortably about 275, though it can hold slightly more with movable seating.

The administration and classroom building adjoins the church to the west. Built in 1956, it contains six classrooms, a nursery, a full-sized gymnasium (called the “Great Hall”), two chapels (the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and the Christ the King or Children’s

Chapel), a lounge, a gift shop, a library, and offices for the rector, curate, deacon, comptroller, and secretary. The Youth Room in the basement serves as recreation room as well as a place for discussions and classes. On the second floor, adjoining the Great Hall is a full kitchen along with more classroom space and a choir practice room. Both stairs and an elevator connect the floors. The third floor contains a climate-controlled room housing the parish and diocesan archives. A furnished, air-conditioned apartment with a small kitchenette is located there but is not in use, along with locker rooms (not in use), and additional classroom space that once served as the atrium for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. The classrooms remain fully equipped for the Catechesis should the decision be made to reinstate the program.

Typically, visitors enter the building from the parking lot and walk into the Common Room — a reception room that serves as a gathering space. From here, one can enter the nave (through a side door), enter the sacristy (through a locked door), enter the Blessed Sacrament Chapel (through a short hallway), or walk through a doorway, kept locked during the week, into the hallway to the classrooms, offices, gift shop, lounge, and library.

The first floor plan is expected to undergo significant renovation during the fall of 2016, when a carport and handicap-accessible entrance is constructed on its western side. When completed, it will change the orientation of the secretary’s office to the west side of the church and remedy some ADA compliance issues with the building design.

Trinity’s two chapels have a variety of uses. The Blessed Sacrament Chapel, located near the nave and sacristy, contains a columbarium, stained glass windows, a freestanding altar, and a communion rail. It seats about 25 people and can be used for special Eucharist celebrations. The setting is quiet

Trinity values:• Our historic church edifice and its continued care and maintenance• Our grounds, particularly the labyrinth, as a place for anyone to find God and His peace, anytime

Our vision:• Complete accessibility welcoming all to worship and enjoy fellowship• Our buildings and grounds as a resource offered in collaborative ministry with other churches and not-for-profits

We seek a rector who will:• Respect the historic, challenging us to both preserve and renew our building and grounds to God’s glory

and contemplative. The Christ the King Chapel, also known as the Children’s Chapel, is located in the western part of the first floor. Designed for use by children, it contains small-sized pews, a freestanding altar, a colorfully painted Christus Rex, and a small organ. It has its own miniature sacristy and is lit with four windows in vivid color depicting the four Gospel evangelists.

Parish History and Background

Trinity had its beginnings not long after Fort Wayne was incorporated. The Episcopal Church in Fort Wayne can trace its origin to the efforts of the Rt. Rev. Jackson Kemper, who arrived in 1837 to assess the feasibility of establishing a church. Two years later he sent a missionary who established a

congregation that soon folded. Through the efforts of several lay leaders, Trinity Episcopal Church was founded in 1844. The congregation raised funds for a small, wood-frame chapel and bought an organ with four stops — the first documented organ in town.

Trinity’s earliest members came from several groups, including area residents who had been Episcopalians in the East, English and Canadian immigrants, and newcomers to the faith, many of them community leaders, who found the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer intriguing, its sermons intellectual, and the atmosphere not overly judgmental.

During the Civil War the congregation raised funds to construct a new Gothic Revival edifice in a design by Charles Crosby Miller of Toledo, Ohio. Completed in 1866, it was consecrated two years later, after the parish had raised additional funds for a new organ.

During the late nineteenth century, the parish grew steadily. In the 1890s, the church was refurnished with a new pulpit, a marble baptismal font, an eagle-shaped lectern, and a silver communion service, all of which are still in use. A vested choir of men and boys made its first appearance in the 1890s and remained until the 1930s, when it was replaced by a mixed choir of men and women.

The Diocese of Michigan City (later called Northern Indiana) split off from the Diocese of Indiana at the end of 1898, inaugurating an era of Anglo-Catholicism that was outside the mainstream of the

Episcopal Church at that time. Trinity, as the largest parish, exercised much influence. During the 1920s the parish redecorated the nave with ornate colors and a rood screen.

Among Trinity’s memorable rectors was the Rev. George Bartlett Wood, a former Army chaplain who led the parish from 1947 to 1971. During his tenure the church constructed a new classroom and office building, completed in 1956, that included a full-sized gymnasium and two chapels. In 1962, under a third redecoration, Wood removed the rood screen and had installed an intricately carved reredos. During this Baby-Boom era the parish expanded in size, resulting in the creation of two new missions: St. Alban’s, founded in 1963, and St. Philip and St. James (now Grace), founded in 1969. Both have since become separate parishes.

Trinity’s strong Anglo-Catholic model began to evolve in the 1970s during the rectorate of Wood’s successor, the Rev. Dr. C. Corydon Randall. A High Church (but less Catholic) model with strong lay leadership and a new sense of openness replaced

the older style. Randall instituted the commission system of parish administration, increasing both lay participation and outreach. Together with several church leaders in 1977, he helped found Canterbury School, a private school for grades kindergarten through six that used the church classrooms for several years until moving to its own quarters in 1980. Randall also spent much of his rectorate renovating the parish buildings, spearheading a capital campaign, creating endowments, and having the church entered into the National Register of Historic Places. After leaving in 1988, he served parishes in California and Michigan. Now retired as Rector Emeritus, Randall and his wife returned to Fort Wayne and are members of the congregation. He often leads the Friday morning study group and occasionally the Adult Forum, teaching on Old Testament topics.

Randall’s successor, the Rev. Frank H. Moss III, built upon Randall’s legacy of reform. Services remained formal but were increasingly Broad Church in style. In 1992, Moss brought the first woman priest to serve Trinity, the Rev. Robin Thomas, to serve as Trinity’s curate. Under the leadership of precentor Wayne Peterson, who came to Trinity in 1987, the church’s musical offerings enjoyed local acclaim. Moss left in 1999 and later served churches in Massachusetts before eventually retiring to Oregon.

During the 1990s Trinity began to suffer a declining membership, as did many other mainline downtown Protestant churches. In 2001, the parish called the Rev. Rebecca Ferrell Nickel of Denver, Colorado. She

became the first woman to lead a large downtown congregation. Many families with young children joined under her ministry. However, her leadership style alienated others, and she left in 2004 amid division. She has since moved to the Diocese of Indianapolis, where she is still an active priest.

Trinity’s most recent rector, the Rev. Dr. Thomas P. Hansen, arrived in 2006 from Nebraska. Healing earlier rifts, Hansen inaugurated a labyrinth ministry, eventually constructing a permanent one of stone on the church grounds. In 2010, the parish led a successful capital campaign to replace its aging boiler and cooling system. It later received several large bequests to refurbish its organ and build a new handicap-accessible entrance and carport on its western side. As a downtown parish, the church has become involved in a variety of outreach ministries. Traditional liturgical music and hymns, expertly presented by its choir, remain a strong part of the parish DNA, and Peterson, who has served nearly 30 years as precentor, regularly leads the parish in a variety of special concerts and events. As retired Bishop Edward S. Little has commented, “Trinity is very Cathedralesque.” Hansen announced his retirement at the end of 2016, though he plans to remain in Fort Wayne and stay active in the diocese. He has said that he leaves knowing the parish is in a strong position for new growth and vision.

Trinity’s restoration in 1977 included anchoring the roof properly to the building and stripping and refinishing its rafters. In 1985, the nave was painted in neutral colors.

Fort Wayne, Our Community

Trinity Episcopal Church is located in Fort Wayne, northeast Indiana, about 20 miles west of Ohio and 50 miles south of Michigan. Fort Wayne is within a few hours’ drive to Indianapolis, Columbus, Detroit and Chicago. Fort Wayne is the second-largest city in the state, behind capital city Indianapolis, with a population of over 260,000. Fort Wayne is a smaller but growing city with a focus on downtown development, creating a rising dynamic that gives the city a unique blend of the convenience, comforts, and affordability of a smaller town and the substantial suburban neighborhoods and emerging opportunities of urban development of a larger city. This unique blend has led to Fort Wayne’s receiving the All-America City Award (from the National Civic League) three times, in 1982, 1998 and 2009.

This is an exciting time to be in Fort Wayne as our downtown is growing and expanding — the Ash Brokerage Skyline Plaza, Riverfront Development, Arts Campus expansion and the building of numerous condominiums, townhouses and apartments will enhance our vibrant community. When asked, “Why do you live in Fort Wayne?” the respondent’s answer often references the quality of life, reasonable cost of living, and the loving, caring, and friendly people.

Fort Wayne’s beginnings as a city are reflected in its name. In 1794, General Anthony Wayne oversaw the United States Army’s construction of Fort Wayne near Kekionga, a village long occupied by the Miami tribe, situated at the confluence of the St. Joseph, St. Mary’s and Maumee rivers. The fort-turned-settlement served as a trading post and

25

was incorporated as a town in 1829. Visit the city’s Community Development Division‘s Fort Wayne History page, www.fwcommunitydevelopment.org/fort-wayne-history, for more information about the development of Fort Wayne through the years.

While manufacturing has been a significant part of the economy, Fort Wayne has prominent employers across many industries. Employers of note include General Motors, BAE Systems, the Do it Best Headquarters, Vera Bradley, Steel Dynamics, Lincoln Financial Group, Sweetwater Sound, Parkview Health Systems, and the Fort Wayne Air National Guard Station, home of the 122nd Fighter Wing, located next to Fort Wayne International Airport.

Fort Wayne International Airport is served by United, American, Delta, and Allegiant commercial airlines. They offer twelve non-stop destinations. Connections worldwide generally utilize hubs in Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Charlotte.

Fort Wayne continues to invest in downtown redevelopment. The 2000s brought renovations and expansions to the Allen County Public Library, Grand Wayne Convention Center, and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, as well as the construction of Parkview Field, the home of the TinCaps, Fort Wayne’s minor league baseball team. More residential and commercial development is underway throughout downtown.

The surrounding suburban area has also developed and grown with housing, retail, and major new hospital and medical office park investments. Two

hospital corporations, Lutheran Health Network and Parkview Health System, provide excellent health care for northeast Indiana.

Fort Wayne values its neighborhoods and active neighborhood associations in all parts of the city and suburban areas. Trinity is adjacent to the historic West Central Neighborhood, one of the areas of the city that has seen significant redevelopment with its renovated stately Victorian homes. Unincorporated areas of the surrounding Allen County are mostly

rural, but there are plenty of suburban developments as well. A strong Amish community still thrives in northeast Allen County near the charming town of Grabill. Visit Fort Wayne, the Allen County Convention and Visitors Bureau, offers much more information about the area through its relocation resources: www.visitfortwayne.com/aboutfortwayne/community-relocation-info/

Fort Wayne is home to many opportunities for arts and culture. The historic Embassy Theatre is the venue for the Fort Wayne Philharmonic as well as a wide variety of music and other performances. The outdoor Foellinger Theatre is a favorite concert venue during warm weather. The “Cultural District” on Main Street holds several institutions, including

the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Auer Center for Arts and Culture (home of the Fort Wayne Ballet), Arts United Center (housing the Fort Wayne Civic Theater, Fort Wayne Dance Collective, and Fort Wayne Youtheatre) and the Cinema Center.

Fort Wayne boasts a celebrated and popular Children’s Zoo, which draws over 500,000 visitors every year. The Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory Gardens and Science Central, an interactive and educational center, are also popular attractions along with the city’s many museums, like the Art, African/African-American, and Aviation Museums and History Center. Particularly unique to Fort Wayne is the nationally acclaimed Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library — the largest public genealogy collection in North America. The Allen County Public Library is also known for its large collection of materials and programming.

Fort Wayne also values recreation. The city holds 2,800 acres of land in 86 public parks. The Rivergreenway is a system of trails along Fort Wayne’s riverbanks and has expanded to over 90 miles of paved trails throughout the city and county, which has encouraged the popularity of cycling and the development of Fort4Fitness. Fort Wayne is also home to three minor-league sports franchises: the Komets (hockey), the Mad Ants (basketball, affiliated with the Indiana Pacers), and the TinCaps (Class A minor league baseball affiliate of the San Diego Padres).

Fort Wayne attractions include annual festivals. Many, like Germanfest, Greekfest, and the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival, commemorate ethnic cultures. The Taste of the Arts showcases the variety of performing and visual arts in Fort Wayne, and Fort Wayne Pride celebrates northeast Indiana’s LGBTQ community. The largest festivals are the Johnny Appleseed Festival and the Three Rivers Festival. Johnny Appleseed, believed to be buried in Fort Wayne, is celebrated with apple-themed foods, crafts, historical music, and demonstrations from pioneering life — the festival is a fall favorite with hundreds of thousands of visitors yearly. The Three Rivers Festival is a week-long summer celebration of the city, with a grand parade, events through the week, and closing fireworks.

Fort Wayne’s festivals reflect the city’s growing interest in cultural diversity. The city’s population is predominantly white with smaller populations of Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian populations. Unique to the city is one of the largest

Fort Wayne has four public school districts: Fort Wayne Community Schools (FWCS), East Allen County Schools (EACS), Northwest Allen County Schools (NACS) and Southwest Allen County Schools (SACS). FWCS is the largest district with over 30,000 students, 31 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The student body is diverse. There are also several private religious schools, including Canterbury, which has historical ties to Trinity.

Fort Wayne’s post-secondary education includes Indiana University–Purdue University, Fort Wayne (IPFW), Indiana’s fifth-largest public university, enrolling 13,500 students. There are also nine private colleges/universities in the city including Concordia Theological Seminary, Indiana Institute of Technology, and the University of Saint Francis. Indiana’s statewide community college system, Ivy Tech, has three campus sites in Fort Wayne.

Fort Wayne has been unofficially named the “City of Churches,” reflecting its past as a regional hub of Catholic, Lutheran, and Episcopal faiths in the late 1800s and reflecting its current 360 churches in the city. Eight of these churches are located downtown,

including the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Trinity English Lutheran, Saint Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, and Trinity Episcopal Church. Fort Wayne has two other Episcopal churches — St. Alban’s Episcopal is located in the northern part of the city and Grace Episcopal is in the southwest. Fort Wayne’s residents, of which around half identify as religious, are mostly Christian and Protestant with increasing populations of Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus.
