About | Trinity UMC

Our Mission

Trinity Bellefonte is a compassionate and community-focused church family whose mission is to bring the love of Jesus Christ to our world. We welcome all people into our community of worship, learning, and service.

Our Beliefs

As United Methodists, we are grounded in the Christian faith as expressed through Scripture, Tradition, Experience, and Reason — the Wesleyan "quadrilateral." We believe in the grace of God freely offered to all people, and the call to respond in faith and holy living.

The Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Salvation through Jesus Christ, available to all
The authority of Holy Scripture
The importance of works of mercy and justice
A connectionalist church — part of the global UMC

Our History

Trinity United Methodist Church has served the Bellefonte community for over 170 years. From our founding in the mid-19th century, we have grown into a congregation committed to making a difference in our neighborhood, county, and world. Our Victorian-era building, built in 1875, features a grand second-floor sanctuary with brilliant stained glass windows, a pipe organ, grand piano, and a choir loft.

Our Sanctuary

Step through our doors and into a sanctuary that has witnessed generations of worship, baptisms, weddings, and funerals. The pulpit, pipe organ, and stained glass windows create an atmosphere of reverence and beauty. An elevator provides full access to the second-floor worship space, and child-friendly areas are available for families.

Music Ministry

Music is central to worship at Trinity. Our choir leads the congregation each Sunday with hymns and anthems drawn from the rich Wesleyan tradition. All are welcome to participate — whether joining the choir, playing an instrument, or simply lifting your voice in praise.
