Impacting the Community

since 1850

Trinity Church is located in downtown Kendallville, Indiana. We offer two worship services: a traditional service at 8:30 in our beautiful, historic sanctuary; and a contemporary service at 10:45 featuring music in today’s styles and creative expressions of worship. Nursery is available for both services, and children’s programing is available during the contemporary service. We also offer a monthly discussion group that wrestles with controversial issues for the purpose of fostering mutual respect and understanding among Christians who disagree. Trinity is a place for all people to find support and encouragement in following Jesus. Through our ministries, we seek to understand what following Jesus looks like in our own time, place, and circumstances.
