The Holy Trinity Cathedral in Shanghai has been made accessible to the public since December of the preceding year. Since July of the current year, the church has been conducting two worship services every Sunday. It is worth noting that an advance online appointment is still required to attend these services.
On the second Sunday service of July 16, Rev. Yan Xiyu from Nanjing Union Theological Seminary delivered a sermon titled "Who is the Neighbor?" based on the scripture found in 10:25–37. In this passage, a lawyer sought counsel from Jesus, asking, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus responded by teaching the significance of loving God and others. In reply to the question "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus recounted the parable of the "good Samaritan." In this parable, a man was robbed, beaten, and left half dead. Out of three passersby, only a Samaritan stopped to provide assistance. Rev. Yan meticulously analyzed the story and emphasized that Christians express their love for God through genuine affection for their neighbors, manifesting in tangible acts of kindness.
Established in 1847 and reconstructed in 1869, the megachurch is regarded as one of the oldest Protestant churches in Shanghai and the entire nation. After thorough preparation and registration, it was officially opened to the public in December 2022, directly under the management of CCC&TSPM.

上海圣三一堂自去年12月对外开放，今年7月开始，教堂每主日开放两场崇拜，仍需提前线上预约。
7月16日，第二场主日礼拜中，金陵协和神学院严锡禹牧师，基于路加福音10章25到37节证道，主题是“谁是邻舍”。一位律法师向耶稣求教“如何才可以承受永生”，耶稣告诉他要爱神爱人。在 “谁是我的邻舍”的问题中，耶稣讲了一个“好撒玛利亚人”的故事。一个人落到强盗手中，被打到半死，遇到了三个人，只有一个撒玛利亚人救他。严牧师剖析这个故事指出，基督徒爱神的表现体现在爱人、爱邻舍上，而且是爱一个个具体的人。
圣三一堂始建于1847年、1869年原址重建的圣三一堂，是上海乃至全国历史最悠久的基督教新教教堂之一。
经筹备设立和登记，于2022年12月作为基督教全国两会的直属堂正式对外开放。
