Trinity & St. Philip's Cathedral

Trinity & St. Philip's Cathedral is a place of worship near Military Park featuring Gothic Revival design with ornate stained glass and carved stonework. The building spans multiple construction periods, combining its original 1810 structure with later additions including an expanded chancel.

The congregation traces its roots to Trinity Church founded in 1743 with a royal charter from King George II. During the American Revolutionary War, the original church played an unexpected role in the community's survival and continuity through significant changes.

The cathedral reflects the community's evolution through the merger with St. Philip's Church in 1966, which brought together different congregations in shared worship. This union shaped how the space serves people from various backgrounds today.

The cathedral welcomes visitors throughout the week and holds regular services on weekends. Located at the corner of Broad and Rector Streets, it sits within easy reach of the downtown area.

The building incorporates stone and design elements from distinctly different construction phases that blend together visually. Walking through reveals how earlier and later work coexist, telling the story of ongoing adaptation over nearly 200 years.
