The Trophimus Center Grand Opening

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Trinity Anglican Seminary opens a new worship space and event center, The Trophimus Center.

Ambridge, PA – 5/14/25 – Trinity Anglican Seminary announced the official opening of The Trophimus Center in Ambridge, PA with a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 15, 2025 at 4 p.m. The space serves as a place for Trinity students to engage in liturgical formation, hosts classrooms and events, and invites the local community to participate in worship. It also supports the wider Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and other mission partners as a keystone institution for leadership conferences.

The Rev. Cn. Dr. Bryan Hollon, Dean and President, said, ”The Trophimus Center’s opening is a major advance in Trinity Anglican Seminary’s mission to be a global center for Christian formation in the Anglican tradition. With its beautifully restored worship and meeting spaces, the Center equips our students in the beauty of Anglican liturgy while providing our community and the entire Province a central gathering place for learning, worship, and fellowship. This incredible facility will enable Trinity to form leaders steeped in our rich tradition and better equip the churches we serve to offer the gospel’s beauty, depth, and truth to a world desperately seeking all three.”

To meet the need for a larger event venue and more flexible worship space, The Trophimus Center was purchased in 2019 by a generous donor on behalf of Trinity Anglican Seminary. The Center accommodates up to 300 guests and provides a majestic setting for preaching, worship, and hands-on liturgical training. It is equipped with modern audio-visual technology suited to Anglican liturgy and includes adaptable classroom and conference spaces for Trinity and its mission partners.

The space which formerly housed the United Presbyterian Church, has been completely renovated and restored. New features include a bowl for the baptismal font which is custom made of stone from the ancient city of Ephesus, the home of Trophimus—the namesake of the center. Also featured are an elevated pulpit, large restored Tiffany-inspired stained-glass windows, a domed ceiling, and soon a restored 1926 pipe organ.
