About Trinity Reformed Episcopal Church

Trinity Church Trinity Church, Mason

Trinity Church was established as a mission parish of the Diocese of Mid-America of the Reformed Episcopal Church in November 2000.  The Trinity parish began as a nondenominational church in 1990 and soon recognized the need to work within a larger association of churches.  The congregation began an extensive search for a place to affiliate.  As the process progressed, the church grew in its appreciation for liturgy, the sacraments, and the historic church and early Church Fathers.  

This led them to the Reformed Episcopal Church (REC) because of its strong emphasis in these areas, as well The Rev. Peter Manto as the REC's parish church structure and episcopal form of government (bishops).  In 2002, another milestone was reached by Trinity Church as the parish purchased the former Mason Church of Christ building in Mason, Ohio and began meeting there in July.  After renting meeting space for over ten years, the members were elated and grateful to God for finally having a place of their own.
