From the website's History page:

"Depending on whose records you follow, we may be the oldest church in Folsom, and the third oldest Episcopal church in California. Founded in 1856, Trinity Church has made significant contributions to the community since the pioneer era. For example, the Twin Lakes Food Bank began as a ministry of this church and is now supported by many area churches, civic organizations, and the Folsom Police."

"The first church meetings were held in the old Hook and Ladder Company Hall on Sutter Street. Our church building was constructed in 1861 and is a fine example of the Carpenter Gothic style. Renovated in 1985, it is listed in the Historic American Building Survey."
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1861
