Trinity International Church of Strasbourg is a diverse and vibrant young community of international Christian believers. We meet each Sunday morning to worship God with music and Scripture, to be reminded of what is real through an English sermon from the Bible, and to interact with each other as we move through our faith journeys together. Trinity offers a weekly prayer time as well as group Bible studies (in English and in French) in congregation members' homes. The Sunday service is held at 10:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the Eglise St Louis. You will find us at 12 rue du Cygne, next to the Hotel du Departement and near La Petite France's Pont Couvert. Trinity is associated with the Protestant denomination Alliance des Églises Chrétiennes et Missionnaires de France, itself connected to the wider C&MA body through a world-wide fellowship in 44 countries.
