  I came to Trinity Heights incredibly suspicious of Christianity and, as a relatively contented agnostic, I approached church apprehensively. Now, a year later, I look to it’s community as a wellspring of growth, knowledge and encouragement. Trinity heights is a warm, welcoming community with a shared sense of exploration. The church leadership takes care to foster this even further, with guest speakers and round table discussions at the end of each sermon series. The sermons themselves are thought-provoking, artful, and accessible from many directions, engaging with Christian theology in ways historical, biblical and cultural while seamlessly pulling from a wide array of literary, pop cultural and anecdotal references. Dostoyevsky or Nietzsche, C.S. Lewis or George Lucas might aid the illumination of a complicated theological concept on any given Sunday. Thoughtfully and carefully constructed, Trinity Heights is conscious of the many backgrounds that make up it’s constituents, and promises to engage and challenge everyone: the skeptic, the long-time church go-er, the first time attender, the academic, the literary lover, even—occasionally—the Star Wars fan.

  I was surprised to find this church on Google Maps since they are in another building and do not own the property. Trinity Heights Church is great and welcomes both skeptics and Christians. As I understand it, the church assents to the Apostles and Nicene creeds, though not everyone in the church does, since a number of attendees do not identity as Christians. I've gone maybe 5-6 times since it opened a year ago. The focus of the sermons I've heard has been intriguing and has focused on how God is putting broken humanity back together again. This is unusual as a theme for sermons (the talks the main guy gives) and he does not at all use "churchy" or "Christianese" language. The pastor is a witty and intelligent guy with a great British accent who is doing his doctorate on Nietzsche and who is a Christian. The people at the church have been very friendly and welcoming. About every two months or so, when a sermon series wraps up, they will have round table discussions led by both skeptics and Christians to talk about what the series covered. They even served mimosas at that discussion, which was surprising because churches are often hesitant to serve any alcohol (even with communion), so it felt very "New York" and very approachable for anyone who was new to a church environment. They sang songs like most churches do. All in all, it was a great experience and I plan to visit again soon.
