Trinity Presbyterian Church and the Bryant Neighborhood Center offer space to Tacoma, Washington's Hilltop Neighborhood
The congregation's bold decision to open the community center came at a crucial time
Since 1891, Trinity Presbyterian Church in Tacoma, Washington has been responding to the needs of its neighbors.
As the cost of maintaining an aging building grew and with the congregation’s future in question, Trinity made the courageous choice to stay in their historic building and re-envision their space and ministry.
After a successful fundraising campaign and help from congregants and neighbors throughout the Hilltop community, Trinity opened the Bryant Neighborhood Center in 2020.
