Trinity United Methodist Church began as the
Seven Hills Methodist Outpost sponsored by Breckenridge Street
Methodist Church. The first service was held in the auditorium
of the Seven Hills Elementary School on March 6, 1960 with 52
people attending. The Church was officially organized on May
22, 1960 with 36 members and was received into the Louisville
Conference on May 27, 1960.
The present sanctuary and education
building were complete in 1963. Further construction occurred
in 1969 with the inclusion of a basement, and the present fellowship
hall was completed in 1985. At the charge conference on July
29, 1973, approval was given to purchase the building at 1501
Trinity Drive to be used as a parsonage. In April 1978 an addition
to the parsonage was completed. The renovation of the sanctuary
was completed in April of 1997 with most of the work being completed
by Church members.
