La
Trinidad UMC History
Who We Are
Established in 1876, La Trinidad United Methodist Church today is 125 years old and has more than 600 members. Started as a mission to respond to the needs of the growing community around Produce Row near the downtown Market Square, the church later moved to the property it now occupies. The original buildings have been renovated and expanded over the years to meet the growing needs of its members and the community around the church. Because church members live in every part of the city, the congregation in 1968 entertained the idea of moving the church to a different location within the city. However, the congregation decided that the church's mission could better be served from the downtown location. In 1986, a gymnasium was constructed to minister to youth within the congregation and community, and to serve as a meeting place for larger functions. Today La Trinidad continues to grow in membership, expand its ministries and reach out to the surrounding community.La Trinidad is a church that is still very much alive and active in many areas of ministry. Our church is blessed with an Adult Choir that performs at the morning services every Sunday and at special musicals throughout the year. Our church is also blessed to have a praise band that performs for us during Sunday morning services and special services. LT Praise (our praise band) is a well known group in our church conference and is often invited to go and lead worship at many conference functions. We are also proud to proclaim that we have a strong Fine Arts Ministry that allows our congregation to express their love for the Lord with their talents. Two drama productions are presented each year starting with our Easter Season and lastly our Annual Three Nights of Christmas. The Fine Arts Ministry also allows our members to showcase their talents for the Lord through our Liturgical Dance Program. Our church is also organized and equipped to meet the needs of all our saints through varies ministries and divisions. The Groups are as follows; United Methodist Men, United Methodist Women, United Methodist Young Adults, United Methodist Youth Fellowship and a Children's Division. These groups meet and work in their specific interest areas, have fellowship and contribute to the life of the church.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
John 17:20-26
"I am praying not only for these disciples
but also for all who will ever believe in me because of their testimony.
My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and
I are one, Father--that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they
will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me."I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are-- I in them and you in me, all being perfected into one. Then the world will know that you sent me and will understand that you love them as much as you love me. Father, I want these whom you've given me to be with me, so they can see my glory. You gave me the glory because you loved me even before the world began!
"O righteous Father, the world doesn't know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. And I have revealed you to them and will keep on revealing you. I will do this so that your love for me may be in them and I in them."
