OUR HISTORY
1884
Our beautiful church was consecrated as Emmanual Episcopal Church. The Gothic building, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Montgomery, was typical of country church’s in Montgomery’s native England. Among Trinity’s outstanding features are the hand-carved woodwork, magnificent brick arches, Tiffany-era west window, and beautiful Hook & Hastings tracker organ (1885).
1953
Trinity Fellowship was formed when the local Baptist and United Congregational churches joined to worship in the Episcopalian Church on Severance Street.
1971
United Methodist Church members joined Trinity Church. Today, the former Congregational Church is the Shelburne-Buckland Community Center, and the former United Methodist Church (part of the Trinity in 1971) is now the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The Baptist Church at Main and Water streets is no longer standing, but the green is used for the seasonal farmers’ market, fall Cider Days festival, and numerous other community events throughout the year.
