Trinity House is an Intentional Christian Community of Students and Young Adults who live at 5 Harvard Avenue, the house next door to Trinity Anglican Church in Ottawa South. Five young adults from across the country commit to living together for a period of twelve months as part of their faith journey. Members of the intentional community commit to supporting one another in their spiritual and their work and/or academic life. There is a Community Covenant that outlines how the community works together and the residents develop a “rule of life” that creates a rhythm of life, prayer and worship, individual and communal. This communal experience of faith helps each individual in their spiritual formation, with the support of mentors and the spiritual coach for Trinity House offered by Trinity Anglican Church.
Trinity Anglican, Old Ottawa South, thanks the Anglican Foundation of Canada for their generous donation towards Trinity House.

As with many homes of the 19th century era, the house features two staircases. The kitchen is a generous size as are all the five bedrooms. There are laundry facilities and two four piece washrooms. The common room is welcoming and suitable for gatherings. Trinity House was refurbished in 2022 and is in excellent condition. Applicants will be welcome to take a tour through the house.
