Holy Trinity Episcopal Church of Covina  is located at the corner of Third Street and Badillo Avenue, 1 block West of Citrus Avenue in downtown Covina, California.  We are a part of Deanery 6 in the Diocese of Los Angeles.

On Sunday mornings, we have Holy Communion (Eucharist) in traditional language at 8:00 a.m. and Holy Communion in contemporary language with music at 10:00 a.m. During the 10:00 a.m. service there is Sunday School for children ages 3 through the fifth grade and child care for infants and toddlers in the nursery. Following the 10:00 a.m. service is a lively Coffee Hour in the Parish Hall which you won't want to miss.

There is a mid-week Eucharist at 10:00 a.m. followed by a Bible or spiritual book study at 11:00 a.m. for those who wish to stay. Special services are scheduled on all major Holy days.

Everyone is welcome at Holy Trinity! We are an all inclusive church and wherever you are in your journey of faith, you are welcome at the Lord's table.

News and Coming Events

We have frequent requests for food in the Parish Office from homeless persons, especially  in these cold winter months. Your gift of fast food coupons (e.g. McDonalds) or nutritious food bars would be most appreciated by those in need.

*** Sermons Online ***

A new page has been added with the latest sermons given at Holy Trinity. If you missed the service, you can still hear the sermon!! Check out the navigation on the left side of this page.
