Trinity Baptist Church was formed in April 1922 following the merger of Sumner Avenue Baptist Church and Bedford Heights Baptist Church in Brooklyn.
Sumner Avenue Baptist Church, originally Herkimer Street Baptist Church, was organized in 1872. The name was changed when a new building was built on Sumner Avenue and Decatur Street. The Bedford Heights Baptist Church was organized as a mission in 1886. For over a year it met in a home at 107 Bergen Street while its building was being constructed the corner of Bergen Street and Rogers Avenue.
On October 4, 1922, Trinity held its first annual meeting. Both merged churches sold their respective holdings and purchased property at 179 New York Avenue. The existing house facing the street was eventually moved back and turned to its side to become the Parish House. This was done to make room for the new sanctuary. The cornerstone for the new edifice was laid December 18, 1926, and the completed Neo-Gothic brick church was dedicated in the fall of 1927. |
