"Sacred Trinity are a welcoming church worshipping in a small but lovely building. Sacred Trinity was the first church in Salford but is right next to Manchester city centre and we relate to both the city centre and the rest of Salford. Many of our congregation walk to church but some come from further away. The building is also host to a variety of different groups."
