Residents of the Converse Heights neighborhood began meeting in 1922 to form a new Methodist church closer to their homes. They acquired this site at the corner of Norwood St. and Fairview Ave. and formally organized in 1924 as Trinity Methodist Church, with around 90 charter members. Their first place of worship was a one-story wood frame building later known as the Trinitarian Building. In 1938, that first church was replaced by a brick Gothic Revival building facing Norwood St., when the church had around 300 members. The brick church was dedicated in 1944, and an education wing was built on its east side in 1949. Members continued using the Trinitarian Building for classes and community activities until it was removed from the site around 1990, and the church was renovated and expanded several more times over that period.
