A community gathering before the church was ready
The mission’s account of Pascha in 2026 describes the Orthodox community in Dodoma celebrating in a hall provided by a university while church construction continued. A fellowship meal followed. It is an important earlier chapter: the community’s worship and common life preceded the completed building.
The community's earlier gatherings in temporary accommodation form the first chapter of this parish history. The permanent church gives that growing life a dedicated home for worship, teaching and fellowship.

The opening and first Divine Liturgy
A report published on 23 July 2026 records the blessing of the opening, or Thyranoixia, of Holy Trinity Church and the first Hierarchical Divine Liturgy there. It locates the building in Nala, a western suburb of Dodoma, and credits the Brotherhood of Orthodox Foreign Mission in Thessaloniki with supporting its construction.
Baptisms and a shared meal followed the Liturgy. The community also acquired a separate parcel in a northern suburb for a proposed mission centre, opening a further possibility for the Church's future presence in Dodoma.

The next chapter is the life of the parish
The opening begins a new chapter of parish life: services, teaching, feasts and the ordinary care of the church. Visitors can explore that history and contact the community about taking part in worship.
For parish information, use the Church’s directory and contact route. An enquiry about the building or its history can name Holy Trinity, Nala, Dodoma. The proposed mission centre is on a separate parcel of land.
