About Us
Results from our recent survey, which had a remarkable number of responses (approximately 87% of potential respondents), indicate that we are an almost exclusively adult community with 85% of our parishioners over 62 years old. · We are also predominately retired (75%) and married (71%). · Although we are in the middle of a major retirement area with many 'snowbirds', 80% of us are full-time residents. · We are not a community church, in that 72% of us live more than 5 miles from the church. · In terms of attendance we are a relatively new parish body; over half of us have been attending Holy Trinity less than 5 years. However, nearly a quarter of us (22%) have attended Holy Trinity more than 15 years. · 70% of us make an annual pledge and keep it.
The survey was taken approximately a year after our last rector was active at Holy Trinity and points to who we are now and what we've done in the last year. · The activities or ministries that are our greatest assets are: · Fellowship (70%) · Liturgy & Worship (62%) · Choir & Music (54%) · Communication (Vestry or Clergy) to/with parishioners (44%) · Preaching (43%)
