A Brief History of Trinity Methodist Church
Methodism is a type of Christian faith. A group of Methodists, called a Wesleyan Society, was active in Barton-upon-Humber as early as 1760. The current Trinity Methodist Church is not the first church building on this spot.
The First Church Building
The Wesleyan Society built an earlier church on this same site. It opened its doors on October 9, 1816. At that time, the society had 46 members. By 1839, the number of members had grown to several hundred. Because of this growth, the first church building was made larger.
Building the Current Church
The original church building was taken down by May 22, 1860. The church you see today was then built in its place. It was finished and opened in early 1861. This means the church has been standing for over 160 years!
