Our Past
In 1835, a group of dedicated Christians organized the first church in Franklin County - Trinity United Methodist Church. Since its founding, that spirit of dedication has characterized this congregation as it has served the West Frankfort community. We have faced and forged through many challenges and joys over the years, learning and growing in our faith, love for God, and love for people along the way. We thank God for His blessings and faithfulness as He continues to call Trinity to service.

Our Present
Right now at Trinity, you may hear a lot of talk about "Trinity Friendly Faces." Jesus called his followers "friends," and we hope that people will see among us Jesus' love and desire for all to become his friends. To help this happen, we focus on 3 key relationships: God, our Church family, and those outside the Church. And these three can be remembered by "having a C.O.W."!
- "C" for Church Family - Be involved with a small group or ministry team
- "O" for Outreach - Actively participate in benevolence & outreach
- "W" for Worship - Grow in the grace of our Lord
