This traditionally African – American church was established in 1866, and served as the headquarters for the Orangeburg Movement during the 1960s. The church hosted many civil rights meetings and rallies attended by leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Roy Wilkins, and Thurgood Marshall.

Civil Rights Remembrance Day commemoration was held at Trinity Church on May 4th 1997. These celebrations brought pioneers of the Orangeburg Movement together for the first time in more than thirty years. Plans are forthcoming for a sixteen commemoration. I am a native of Orangeburg – my father and grandmother were devoted members of Trinity United Methodist Church. Blessings, Rosa Mavins Bogar
