A Little History

Trinity Presbyterian Church was founded in 1964 with initial meetings on the St. Andrew's campus. Organizing members later built their first building on the current property on Blues Farm Road in 1966. The preschool was begun in 1966 also and was the first in the community. In 1979 phase two of the campus buildings was completed including the current sanctuary and offices.

Today the church is just over 40 years old. Trinity is formed of a diverse group of people from all kinds of places. Trinity has a mix of races, faces and ages. The Church now has its first intern on staff in addition to the full-time pastor. She is a divinity student at Union-PSCE, Charlotte.

Trinity's Denominational Connections:

Trinity Presbyterian Church is a member congregation in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. The largest Presbyterian Denomination in the United States. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has approximately 2.5 million members, 11,200 congregations and 21,000 ordained ministers. Presbyterians trace their history to the 16th century and the Protestant Reformation. Our heritage, and much of what we believe, began with the French lawyer John Calvin (1509-1564), whose writings crystallized much of the Reformed thinking that came before him.

There are two regional governing bodies with whom we are connected in our denomination. These two bodies, our synod and our presbytery, help us to work in partnership with other Presbyterian congregations to carry out mission and ministry.

Our synod is Synod of the Mid-Atlantic (www.synatlantic.org). The synod is a large geographic body that contains 14 presbyteries.

Our presbytery is the Presbytery of Coastal Carolina (www.presbycc.org), the southern most presbytery in our synod. The Presbytery of Coastal Carolina includes the counties of Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Columbus, Cumberland, Duplin, Harnett, Hoke, Jones, Lee, Moore, New Hanover, Onslow, Pender, Robeson, Sampson, Scotland and portions of Lenoir, Wayne and Craven counties. It has approximately 190 member churches. These churches, working together through the presbytery, run two camp and conference centers in addition to sharing in many other mission endeavors.
