Trinity Episcopal Church, Santa Barbara

Trinity Episcopal Church started as a parish in 1867, with the building constructed between 1912 and 1919 by Philip H. Frohman, who designed the Washington National Cathedral. The church was the second of the two first Protestant congregations in the city.

The church underwent some reconstruction after the 1925 earthquake. One of the additions that took place as a result of his reconstruction was a parish hall. As in most Episcopal churches, this area is one of the most popular sites for social gatherings and other activities.

This church features sandstone construction, with a traditional nave and beautiful stained glass. One of the things that visitors will notice is how light-filled the inside of the church is. The atmosphere is very tranquil and also welcoming.

The parish offers musical programs regularly. Some of the instruments used include the pipe organ and piano, as well as chamber ensemble instruments.
