From Trinity United Methodist Church:

ALEXANDRIA, VA - The National Society of Colonial Dames Seventeenth Century (NSCDXVIIC), Jamestown Chapter, will place a historical marker at Trinity United Methodist Church on September 11, 2016 at 2:00 p.m.

The marker is to celebrate the church’s establishment on November 20, 1774 when a young preacher, William Duke, came into Alexandria and preached to a small group of followers and noted in his journal: “Formed them into a society.” The congregation is honored to be recognized by the Colonial Dames for it centuries long history.

The congregation of Trinity United Methodist Church has met continuously in the Alexandria community since 1774. Originally located in Old Town, the congregation moved to the Northridge neighborhood in 1940. Today, Trinity works to build a strong Christian community to find, share, and celebrate the love of Christ in our hearts, neighbors and our world. Local missions and ministries supported by Trinity UMC include Trinity Preschool, ALIVE!, Community Lodgings, INOVA Blood Drives, and Rising Hope UM Mission Church.
