A VISION TAKES ROOT

The Early Years

In the early 1800s, a small group of Methodists in the Clermont area began meeting for worship, finding strength in their shared faith and a desire to serve their neighbors. What started as simple gatherings in homes and community buildings laid the foundation for what would become Trinity United Methodist Church.

These early believers were committed to spiritual growth, caring for one another, and making a positive difference in their community.
