Trinity United Methodist Church (Charleston, S.C.)
Biographical notes:
Charleston (S.C.) church. Trinity United Methodist Church began in 1786 as the Cumberland Street Methodist Episcopal Church with 35 white and 23 black members. In 1791 part of Cumberland's congregation withdrew to form Trinity Primitive Methodist Church, but the two congregations reunited in 1861 after Cumberland's building was lost in a fire. Two separate Boards of Trustees existed until 1874, when the two congregations were formally united as Trinity United Methodist Church. The black congregation remained a part of the church until 1865. In 1969 the Board of Directors reversed a church policy against integration and allowed blacks to attend services at Trinity United Methodist Church.
