Trinity United Church of Christ-Manchester

Trinity United Church of Christ-Manchester

Sources:  Church Website:  http://www.trinityuccmanchester.org/

By the year 1760 the Zion Union Church was formed.  It consisted of two congregations, German Reformed and Lutheran.  Each group worshipped on alternate Sundays in the 'Kirche Hausse' (church house).  As new immigrants arrived, the church membership grew and the two congregations amicably separated in 1862.  The Reformed Congregation became the Trinity Reformed Church, now known as the Trinity United Church of Christ.

The present building was begun during the Civil War and completed in June of 1864.  Located on teh corners of York and Church Streets, the steeple is the highest in Manchester.  The 700 pound bell within the steeple was purchased at a cost of fifty-five cents a pound.  It continues to summons people to worship each Sunday.
