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.
