An Inviting Community of Faith
Welcome
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting our website. Trinity Church is a small but vibrant Episcopal congregation serving the Seacoast region of the Diocese of New Hampshire. We strive to live the message of Christ, in which all are welcome. Trinity Church is the home of the Hobbs House Community Center, which serves those in need through our very busy Trinity Food Pantry, and various ecumenical non-profit community programs that base their operations here. Walking a middle way between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions, we are a sacramental, worship and service-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and to be. We hope to provide a space that welcomes both the spiritual seeker and the seasoned disciple so that people from many starting points can find their home in God with us. If you are seeking a spiritual home or are just exploring the life of faith, we hope you will walk with us on that journey of discovery. We are in a shared ministry with Christ Episcopal Church, 1035 Lafayette Rd. (Route 1) in Portsmouth. This new model of shared ministry allows for creativity and the use of joint resources in witnessing and outreach to the Seacoast community while allowing us to maintain our unique, individual presence in Hampton and Portsmouth. We look forward to welcoming you this Sunday. The Rev. David “Chip” Robinson Vicar

Meet Our Vicar...
The Rev.
David “Chip”
Robinson
comes to us
after eleven
years as
rector of the
Church of our
Saviour in Milford, followed by a
brief stint as interim priest at
Church of the Holy Spirit,
Plymouth. Before coming to New
Hampshire in 2000, he served as
rector of Grace Church,
Norwood, Mass. for fourteen
years. From 1982-1986, he was
associate rector at Church of the
Holy Spirit, Orleans, Mass.
Fr. Chip received his Master of
Divinity from Virginia Theological
Seminary, and his
undergraduate degree from
Salisbury University (Md.). Two
years ago, he completed special
training in Appreciative
Transition Ministry from the
Clergy Leadership Institute.
During his tenure in Norwood,
Mass., he was one of the
founding partners of the
Norwood Ecumenical Food
Pantry, and served the Diocese
of Massachusetts in several
capacities, including ten years
as a stewardship consultant.
While at Our Saviour in Milford,
he was instrumental in forming
an international partnership with
an Anglican parish in Ondjiva,
Angola, and served the larger
community as Faith Relations
chair for the Nashua chapter of
Habitat for Humanity. Here in the
Diocese of New Hampshire, he
has served on Diocesan Council
and as chair of the Clergy
Compensation Committee.
A native of Delaware, he is
married to Cindy, his wife of 34
years, a graduate of Barrington
College (R.I.) with a major in
Biblical Studies. He was
ordained to the diaconate in his
home parish, St. Luke’s,
Seaford, Del., in 1982, and the
priesthood at Holy Spirit,
Orleans, Mass., in 1983. He and
his wife are long-time lovers of
the New Hampshire and Maine
seacoast, and are delighted to
make their home here.
