Since its founding, Trinity Church has been known for its dedicated pastoral ministries, strong Church School program, emphasis on family fellowship, and concern for world mission. The church building was dedicated in 1896 and has been renovated several times. In 1958, an educational wing was added, including classrooms for all ages, a church parlor, and a large fellowship hall area. Our beautiful church sanctuary includes a fine Moller pipe organ and memorial stained glass windows depicting the life of Christ.

The purpose of Trinity Church is to worship God, to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to celebrate the Sacraments. We seek also to realize Christian fellowship and unity within our congregation and the Church universal, and to strive for righteousness, justice, and peace.

Trinity Church is today a part of the United Church of Christ, a major Protestant denomination formed in 1957 through the merger of two historic traditions. The Congregational Christians were the direct spiritual descendants of the pilgrims who landed at Plymouth Rock, many of the founders of our nation, and of the pioneers who settles America. The Evangelical and Reformed Church - our branch of the U.C.C. - traces its history to Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, and the great reformers of the 16th century. Our church descends from that of the bold men and women who brought their Reformation faith with them as they settled Pennsylvania and the West, contributing greatly to the spiritual life of the American people.

While coming from different ethnic backgrounds, the Congregationalists and the Reformed shared a common evangelical outlook and an emphasis on the importance of the local congregation and an educated ministry.
