On March 28, 1848, 22 men gathered in the session room of the first Religious Society of Rome in order to organize an Evangelical congregation adopting a constitution and choosing the name, “United German Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of Rome.
What would become known by tradition as “The Little German Church” was started in 1849 in a wood-frame building, built on a lot donated by the estate of Dominick Lynch, the founder of Rome. The church underwent renovations to enlarge the building in 1893.
The congregation outgrew its little church and moved to its current location at 215 West Court Street with a dedication ceremony held on April 15, 1928. Renovations to enlarge the facility have been made over the years. Trinity Church continues to serve Rome area families and beyond sponsoring many programs, activities and events, as well as offering a place to worship.
