Backstory and Context

The first Trinity United Methodist church was built on Mechanic Street on land purchased from John Clymer and was dedicated on August 19, 1881. As the town grew, the small church was no longer large enough to hold the growing congregation.
On June 6, 1904, new property was purchased, and the new church was completed later that same year. A large pipe organ was added in 1924, and the Sapp Memorial Building was added in 1926.
The final addition was the community hall that can be seen in the color photo. Little else has changed inside or out of the original structure.
