The bell tower contains an 1896 bronze cast bell approximately 3 feet in height and 3 feet in diameter that still rings every Sunday morning.

The church bell was donated by Mr. John Greer just a short time before the church was dedicated in March 1896. It is inscribed “Trinity Methodist Church, of Kars, Carleton Co. March 19, 1896” and was manufactured by the E.W. Vanduzen Co. Of Cincinnati.

In early days the bell was rung continuously to signal a fire emergency in the community. Neighbours to the church had a key so they could go in to ring the bell. Older members also remember the continuous ringing of the bell to ring out V.E. Day in 1945.

The bell also rang in the new millenium.
