THE MISSION OF TRINITY CATHEDR AL IS TO PROCLAIM IN WORD AND ACTION GOD’S JUSTICE, LOVE AND MERCY FOR ALL CREATION. 2015 Annual Report Trinity Cathedral
Inspire. Imagine. Ignite.
These are the action words that come to mind when I think about Trinity Cathedral. For 200 years, this church – the very first in Cleveland – has inspired individuals to imagine a faith community that ignites its members, its city and its world with God’s justice, love and mercy.
In the early 19th century – 1816, to be exact – a faithful group of early settlers enlivened by the Gospel organized a small house church near the banks of the Cuyahoga River.
Nearly 100 years later, Trinity’s leadership demonstrated the vision and generosity to build a grand Gothic cathedral at the corner of Euclid and East 22nd Street – a magnificent landmark that would inspire the social, economic and spiritual development of a great industrial city.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Trinity Cathedral joined forces with the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio to create Trinity Commons, a piazza in the middle of what was a distressed urban neighborhood – an effort that launched the green building movement in downtown Cleveland and stimulated the redevelopment of the Campus District.
Now located in the middle of a thriving, urban, university neighborhood, Trinity is poised to launch our third century as Cleveland’s first church: a vibrant, diverse and engaged congregation; a beautiful, architectural landmark; a center of diocesan life, a popular venue for music, art and civic conversation and collective action; and a house of prayer that truly welcomes all of God’s people.
As I begin my 17th season as Dean of Trinity Cathedral, I am honored to present the accomplishments of our 199th year of mission and ministry. I pray that Trinity will continue to inspire, imagine and ignite God’s justice, love and mercy for all creation as we launch our third century of service to both church and city.
Faithfully,
The Very Rev. Tracey Lind, Dean

FINANCIAL REPORT
2015 was a very solid year for Trinity, moving it purposefully towards our goal of financial sustainability. Continuing the trend begun in 2013, costs were either contained or reduced across the board with the exception of maintenance, travel & mileage, and marketing & communications. Income increased in two categories: grants for Trinity’s hunger ministries and community outreach, and Friends’ support. The result was that the 2015 draw on our endowment earnings was the lowest in over a decade (4.68% including capital). This is a tremendous achievement and puts Trinity on firm financial footing on the eve of its Bicentennial in 2016.
