Welcome to Trinity Church, Camberwell.

By the grace of God, we have been a part of the Camberwell community since 1885, when services of Christian worship first commenced, due to rapid population growth in what had previously been an area dedicated to market gardening.

The present church building was opened on the 27th April, 1906, replacing the original church, a small weatherboard structure, which had been quickly outgrown by an active and thriving congregation.

As a Presbyterian Church, we are part of that family of churches which makes up the Presbyterian Church of Australia, and we come under the pastoral oversight of the Presbytery of Melbourne East. We share in common with our sister churches a commitment to the biblical and reformed faith, as summed up in the Westminster Confession of Faith, and also a commitment to that form of church government in which a local Session, comprising a number of elders elected by the congregation, provides spiritual leadership and pastoral care to members of the church.  

Those particular features which express our character as a church are a strong commitment to the living of a holy life, to the glory of God, and a desire to see souls won for the Kingdom of God. This character is expressed particularly in terms of nurturing home and family life, and seeing our next generation of children and youth won for Christ. Many of our activities are devoted to this end. One of the clearest fruits of this is to be seen in church on Sunday, where time after time, as many as four generations of the one family are to be found sitting together worshipping God, all professing faith in Jesus. Increasingly, people who have come to live in Melbourne from other parts of the world are finding a spiritual home at Trinity. We love to welcome people of whatever race who have a heart to seek after and follow Jesus. Should you choose to join us, you will experience reverent and joyful worship, biblical preaching that is direct; relevant and faithful, and fellowship that is real and spiritual.

We are concerned to take God seriously, and allow Him to address us in every area of life. At present, some three hundred people meet for worship and fellowship every Sunday. I look forward to being able to welcome you one Sunday soon.

Faithfully, yours in Christ,

Rev. Philip Mercer.
(Minister)
