Site of the third incarnation of the Trinity Evangelical Church.

The original church was consecrated 24 November, 1867. The church burned, and was replaced by a subsequent church, which in turn burned in 1906.

The present structure was consecrated in 1907 and remained in use until 1965, when the modern facility was built.

The church celebrated its centennial in 2007. It is still used on special occasions.
