“Friend, you enter here not as a stranger,
but as a friend of God."
Trinity Church, Cambridge sits on the banks of the Grand River in the downtown core of Cambridge, and is home to almost 400 families and individuals. We continue to be blessed by both our past and present ministries.
We are part of the Diocese of Huron,which is, in turn, part of the Anglican Church of Canada.
The setting of Trinity Anglican Church was no accident! The Hon. Wm. Dickson donated the land on the right bank of the Grand River and together with his superintendent/manager, Absalom Shade, bore a large portion of the cost of clearing the land and building the church. Both men were founders of Galt.
Trinity was built on this site and consecrated in 1844, four years following the incorporation of the parish, by the Rt. Rev. John Strachan.
Through a bequest by Absalom Shade, Trinity House, the Italianate style rectory, was built in 1873. The park in front of Trinity Church was also a gift of the Dickson family and is open to the public.
