I have been a member of Grace & Holy Trinity for several years, since moving to Kansas City. I grew up Anglican but had lapsed so this was a return for me. I found G&HT to be very welcoming and for there to be many delightful members who have been caring and concerned as I have faced some recent health issues. Many of the congregation I would now consider to be good friends who I interact with outside the church. It was important to me that the services be traditional and that the music be uplifting - G&HT does both for me. In addition the mission of the church is a further example of their caring and reaches out to the community in many ways. I think G&HT is a wonderful church and I would encourage anybody to attend, worship and contribute.

Great place! I used to sing in the choir there as a kid. Is John Schaefer still around? In fact the first homeless person I ever met lived on the steps of their Church. I forget his name, but his entire family died in a house fire. It taught me a lot about compassion and understanding and why some people are homeless.a

I was here for rehearsal with the Summer Singers of Kansas City, which I have participated in for about 4 years. The grounds are very well-kept. I also like the resonance in the beautuful sanctuary where we normally perform.

It was a bad church for me all members are fake Episcopals Lent season the bishops orders were to donate lobster for Lent such hyprocissy St.Paul is much finer examples of true Episcopal faith instead of a four square mediocre church ..
