Assistant Rector
The Rev. Mike Reardon
As I near the two year anniversary of my first day at Trinity, I continue to be grateful for the ways in which our congregation, staff, and clergy have contributed to my development as a priest, and hopefully the ways in which my particular skills as a priest have benefitted Trinity Church...

The Senior Warden's Report—Vestry
Tom Williams
I am pleased to report what I hope most of you already know — that Trinity Church is in a strong position to continue its ministry in downtown Asheville since its founding almost 180 years ago. Our membership and church attendance continue to rise, and our budget continues to gradually increase to meet the needs of our members and the wider Asheville
community...
Financials and Stewardship
The Finance Committee has met four times during the year to review the Financial Reports of Trinity. At the beginning of this year there was much uncertainty about how the finances of the church would be impacted by ongoing effects of Hurricane Helene. The church has been fortunate to receive donations both from local and nationwide sources to meet the needs of the congregation and community during the recovery efforts...
Programs
Bible Study & Group Learning
At Trinity, we are lifelong learners because we are lifelong disciples, called to love God with all our heart, with all our strength, and with all our mind — from the smallest of children to the most seasoned of adults. At Trinity, there is a place for you to learn and grow closer to Christ and your neighbor, no matter where you find yourself in life. Throughout the year, we explore the heart of the Christian faith, challenge ourselves to live more deeply into Christ's way of love, and engage critically with the real-world issues that confront modern life. We have formation classes every Sunday as well as special topical series or featured speakers at different times throughout the year.
Worship
Worship is at the heart of our life together. In it we are drawn inward as God discovers us and we discover God. We are drawn together as we support one another on our journey. We are drawn into the world around us as we share the experience of the living Jesus we find here. We are fed by both word and sacrament to live our faith that we share.
Outreach and Pastoral Care
The strength of a church is definitely not confined to Sunday worship. As much prayerful work goes on outside the nave as within it, through the time and energy offered by a host of volunteers. Much of this work is invisible, but crucial not only to the stability and smooth operation of the parish, but to the joy and comfort of the church community as a whole.
Buildings & Grounds and
Service Groups
Our Direction: In 2025, the Facilities Team transitioned from reacting to the damage caused by Helene to the goal of managing our physical assets in a way that integrates day-to-day maintenance and repairs with long-term planning for future needs. We are being called to simultaneously look at the urgent tasks at hand and look forward to Trinity’s future. Below are the efforts started and/or completed during the 2025 calendar year.
Church of the Advocate
Greetings to you all from the Church of the Advocate. In 2025, we have seen continued spiritual growth, cohesion, and a deepened sense of community amongst our congregation. After setting the foundation in my first year at COA, we have begun to explore new ministries. We resumed our Tuesday morning contemplative prayer service, and have entered the beginning stages of exploring a music ministry.
