The Trinity Church building features stained-glass windows that tell the story of the Gospel and commemorate historical figures of the church. The oldest windows are from the late 1800s and have been restored.
The newest window, pictured at the top of the website, was created by Lamb Studios and installed in 2002. The newly commissioned window represents the Last Supper. It was a gift from the Estate of Estelle A. David and given in memory of the David family.
Pictures of other windows are available below. If you have never seen them in person, please consider paying a visit soon.

Our Oldest Stained Glass
There are two Victorian Style windows in the front of the Nave from the 1880s. They are located on either side of the church. The large, triple-paneled window was originally installed over the Altar, and now graces the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
JOHN SEES THE ROBES MADE WHITE (Revelation 7:14)
MARY & MARTHA SERVING JESUS (Luke 10: 38-42)
The Trinity, the Gospels and the Holy Spirit are represented along with the Paschal Lamb and the Pelican, a symbol of the Sacrifice.
The Nave windows were restored in 2011. Most of the funds were raised at a celebration of the 150th anniversary of the church building’s consecration and the 30th anniversary of The Rev. Robert L. Counselman’s tenure as Rector.
