Trinity United Methodist Church began in 1959
as an outpost
Sunday School for First Methodist Church. Originally the church resided
at Mitchell-Neilson School. The church was chartered on September 13,
1959 with fifty-six (56) charter members, twenty-nine (29) transfers
from First Methoodist with a final total of ninety (90).
April 8, 1962 ground was broken for
construction and on November 25, 1962, Trinity Methodist Church was
appropriately consecrated. The original building- sanctuary and
classrooms- were paid for and dedicated in June, 1978.
Trinity's original
sanctuary was destroyed by fire in 1991; but, thanks to
the generous help of the Murfreesboro District and the faith and
perseverance of its congregation, Trinity was rebuilt and restoration
and renovation was completed by November 10, 1991.
Recently the church added additional
educational space to its building. Future projects include a new
fellowship hall. Trinity looks forward to the future in its service to
Christ and Murfreesboro.
