Trinity-Trinidad Episcopal Church — Haverhill, Massachusetts
Musician / Choir Director
Trinity-Trinidad Episcopal Church is a small, inclusive congregation deeply engaged with our neighborhood community in Haverhill, Massachusetts. We have approximately 130 members, with an average Sunday attendance of about 40 people. Our church is actively involved in the life of our local community. Our building hosts Urban Bridges, a neighborhood nonprofit founded by the church, as well as a Montessori preschool. Over the past five years, our congregation has grown into a bilingual and multicultural community, speaking both English and Spanish. Each week, our 10:00 a.m. worship service is conducted bilingually.
As part of this growth, we are developing a music program that reflects and supports our bilingual and multicultural identity.
Music at Trinity-Trinidad
Music is central to the life and identity of our church. Over the years, we have hosted organ recitals and other musical events. We also founded the Academy of Creative Arts at Trinity (ACAT), an after-school arts and music program for neighborhood children that is hosted at the church. Our choir currently consists of 3–5 adult singers. All of our current choir members speak English, although we would love to welcome Spanish-speaking singers and continue building a choir that reflects the diversity of our community. Currently, we also employ a paid soprano.
Our repertoire draws from a variety of musical traditions. Approximately half consists of traditional English-language music selected from Episcopal hymnals, while the other half consists of contemporary Spanish-language music from a variety of sources, including Flor y Canto. During the program year, September through June, the choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:00–8:30 p.m. and Sunday mornings from 9:15–9:45 a.m., before worship.
The church has an Aeolian-Skinner Op. 998 organ, a Kurzweil SP5-8 keyboard, and a set of nine chimes.
Our parish staff also includes a Rector (Pastor) (¾ time), Parish Administrator (½ time), Lay Assistant for Latino Ministry and Church School Director (¼ time), and Sexton (15 hours per week). We are also supported by many dedicated lay leaders who are actively involved in the life of the congregation.
