The Trinity United Methodist Church of Tallahassee Historical Society

The mission of the Trinity United Methodist Church Historical Society is to collect, preserve, and disseminate documents, artifacts, research, and stories of the Trinity United Methodist Church, Tallahassee, Florida, as a ministry of memory designed to connect with the church family, to identify and honor those who went before us, to live principled Christian lives ourselves, and to inspire future generations to become disciples.

Preserving-Sharing-Caring

trinity windowPurpose

Trinity United Methodist Church Historical Society is organized to advance the on-going history of the church since its beginning in the capital of the Territory of Florida in September 1824. The society is affiliated with the administration of that local church and conducts its programs and activities under its auspices. Working in conjunction with the church’s Preservation of History Committee, the society aims to expand its outreach to everyone who is interested in studying, researching, preserving, and disseminating its heritage.

The society will assist in caring for and displaying acquisitions of Trinity’s Heritage Room in the manner specified in museum guides, as they represent a “public trust.” An inventory of historical holdings shall be maintained. Gifts of historical materials will be accepted as usefulness to the collection is determined.
