Established on April 21, 1903, this congregation split from First Baptist Church over polity and doctrinal issues with its minister, fundamentalist William Bell Riley. The group met in the Y.M.C.A. until December 1905 when their church was completed at 900 Lincoln Avenue. In 1955 the congregation adopted the name Trinity Community Church, and in 1979 it began to merge with Grace Presbyterian Church completing the merger in 1987 with the new name, Grace-Trinity Community Church.
