Holy Trinity Church Today
Holy Trinity is a cell church, where church members belong to small cell groups which meet regularly for bible study and prayer. The cell groups are organised in a hierarchical structure, whereby cell groups within a particular geographical area within Leicester grouped into a 'pastorate' under the care of a pastorate leader, under the oversight of one of the ministry team. As a cell group grows, once the attendance consistently exceeds twelve, the cell will 'multiply' to become two cells. Under this approach, the first cell group which started in 1994 has multiplied to over 60 cells in 2009.
The church is actively involved in outreach into the local communities in Leicester. This involves running Alpha Courses, and work in the nearby Leicester Prison, social outreach, and dialogue with the local Muslim community.
The Sunday services follow a theme during each term. The morning services are family-oriented, and music is from a live band and sometimes includes the organ; with songs both modern and traditional. At each service, the sermons are recorded, and are made available as a podcast or can be downloaded individually from the church website in MP3 audio format. On average, attendance at the Sunday services totals 670.
