On December 2, 1929, the Greek Orthodox Society, Holy Trinity, was incorporated. In 1962, property was acquired on West Concord Street in downtown Orlando, and in 1963 the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America issued an Ecclesiastical Charter and assigned a full-time priest.<\/span><\/p>

The current location of Holy Trinity was purchased in 1980. In 1987, services were held in the Chris Carlos Cultural Center. On September 8, 1990, the first services were celebrated in the new Holy Trinity Church. On August 17 of a later year, Holy Trinity broke ground on a new cultural center, marking another major milestone in the life of the parish.<\/span><\/p>

On June 16, 2013, the Sanctuary was consecrated by His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios of Atlanta. Today, the parish is home to more than 650 active families.<\/span><\/p>

Since its inception, Holy Trinity has experienced significant growth. The parish continues to strive to bear effective witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as expressed in the apostolic tradition and worship of the Greek Orthodox Church. All are warmly invited to participate in the worship and fellowship of our parish community.<\/span><\/p>
