A Brief History of Trinity Park UMC

The Methodist Protestant Church in Greenfield was organized in the Presbyterian Church in 1885 by Rev. Hugh Stackhouse, then president of the State Conference. Services were held in a hall and the home of the pastor. In 1886 services were held in an old brick building on the southwest corner of Main and Spring streets.

In 1887 a new church building was dedicated. In 1898 this building was enlarged and remodeled. The church remained Methodist Protestant until 1939 at the reunification of Methodist Episcopal and Methodist Protestant. It was then South Street Methodist Church.

In 1956 six acres were purchased and in 1961 a new building was erected. The church was renamed Trinity Park Methodist Church and in 1968 when the EUB and Methodists united it became Trinity Park United Methodist Church. An addition was built in 1968 and a parsonage in 1972.
