PRINCIPLES
Our aspirations are set out in our strapline: “A community seeking to worship God, follow Jesus and live the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit”.

We rejoice in being a part of the Southall Group Ministry and in our partnership with the Ealing Trinity Circuit of the Methodist Church, and we are committed to playing our part in the wider mission of the church in Southall.

Our parish MAP for 2017-2020 builds on that for 2014-2017, within the context of Capital Vision 2020. It sets out what we believe to be God’s call to us at Holy Trinity at this particular time.
