Trinity Lutheran Church is now known as Trinity United Church of Christ, located at 3525 West 25th Street.
Trinity Church was formed in 1911 by a group of members from Zion United Church of Christ (then Zion Evangelical Church) who wished worship services in English rather than the traditional German. The first building - a frame structure facing Scranton Road - was built by the members themselves. It was dedicated in 1914.
The present building, traditional Gothic, was dedicated in 1926. An educational wing was added in 1948. In 1954, additional property to the south was purchased. This included a large building, known as "Trinity Annex," which helped answer the need for increased school and community activities.
Now in 1966, an addition to the main building is being completed to provide more space for church schoolrooms, community rooms and offices. The old "Annex" has been razed to give more ample parking facilities.
Trinity serves the community through ministry to Jones Home for Children, Metropolitan General Hospital School of Nursing, pre-school classes, a teen canteen, family and golden age clubs, recreation teams and scouts.
The Rev. H. Richard Bucey is pastor. The assistant minister is the Rev. Karl H. Steckman.
(Please remember, this was in 1966.)
