Trinity Episcopal Church

Our Clergy and Staff

The Reverend Susan Allison-Hatch

I was called as Rector by the people of Trinity Episcopal Church in July, 2007.   I am delighted to be serving this community.  Prior to serving at Trinity, I was Associate Rector at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Oakland and Chaplain at St. Paul’s Episcopal School also in Oakland, California.
I came relatively late in life to the Episcopal Church.  I grew up in the Congregational Church but spent many years away from church.  It was communion—the meal shared around the table—that drew me back to church and to the Episcopal Church.  I found myself hungry for God and for a community that accepted my doubts and my questions.  I love the Episcopal Church both for its beautiful worship and for its acceptance of challenging questions. 
My role at Trinity is to oversee our ministries and work to see that we, as a community, live a life of faithful discipleship while at the same time nurturing a sense of joy and delight in all of God’s creation. I strive to ensure that our worship is marked by healthy respect for what Episcopalians call “the beauty of holiness”. I seek to foster loving care for the pastoral needs of our inter-generational congregation.  Having spent much of my adult life in schools and surrounded by children of all ages, I relish a community that lives out Jesus’ love for children and am delighted that children are at the heart of what we at Trinity do.
