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.
