Trinity Church Wall Street is in the final stages of an almost two-year rejuvenation project to enhance the overall worship experience, make spaces accessible and welcoming, upgrade technology and infrastructure, and address deferred maintenance.

Music is both a tradition and a ministry at Trinity Church Wall Street and the period of rejuvenation of the church nave will include the first completely new organ since the current church building was completed in 1846. Threshold assisted Trinity Church with the complex tasks of choosing, building, testing, and installing a new pipe organ, which will benefit Trinity’s neighborhood for decades.

The New York Landmarks Conservancy awarded Trinity a prestigious Chairman’s Awards last year.
