Description of Organization: Trinity Presbyterian Church is first and foremost Christ-centered, proclaiming the Bible’s gracious, saving Gospel message.

Our Story: Trinity Presbyterian Church began in the mid-1970s when a small group of believers began meeting in Franklin County, MO. In 1978, Walter Lorenz was called, ordained, and installed as the organizing pastor. The church met in a local bakery and a small AME church building before it was able to buy a church home on Reinhart and Main Street. Originally named Franklin Reformed Presbyterian Church, the church’s name was later changed to Trinity Presbyterian Church after the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod, merged with the Presbyterian Church in America. Curtis Crumpecker was called, ordained, and installed as pastor in 1989. In 2000, the church broke ground at its current location on Melinda Drive.
