We are Christian people who gather because of the mutual love we have for our Lord and for one another. We expect Christ to continue moving in our congregation, our city, and across the world. And because we anticipate His transformative work in every area of our lives and community, we serve our neighbors through our individual callings and shared outreach and missional activities.
We are Ashland. Ashland is us. And we can’t wait to see what the Lord will do next.
Our faith and trust in Christ serve as both necessary and sufficient conditions for our existence as a church. We are because we believe. We hold our faith as foundational to everything we do, whether we’re looking to equip our staff for service, provide everything members of our congregation need to live daily in the light and love of Christ’s leading, reflecting that love upon those who need it most throughout our community in practical ways, or fueling the spread of the gospel to distant corners of the globe.
We aren’t called to a list of rules. We aren’t called to empty ritual, to arbitrary tradition. Instead, we are called to live, to engage with life.
Living this set-apart life requires daily practice, singular attention, and a willingness to sacrifice our lives for the sake of others. And because the hallmarks of Christ’s teaching are found in its day-to-day practicality, one of our primary responsibilities is fostering the life to which God calls us to engage as Christians within an ever-growing faith community. Again, this value is expressed in specific and powerful ways through self-sacrifice and service to our staff, congregation, community, and the world.
We’re in this thing together. And that’s exactly how God designed it.
We are a faith community created to feed and nurture itself, bringing those in our community closer to Christ through new connections and deeper relationships.
We believe that God planted us here for a reason, and we believe in taking ownership of the Kingdom of God and how it gets expressed in Ashland. We believe that if every church felt the way about their hometown as we do about ours, the world would look completely different.
We believe in the importance of Christian education. As Christians we are called to know the Bible, but that “knowing” isn’t just intellectual. It’s experiential as well. To be a member of our church, one must successfully complete catechism, and we structure Sunday mornings so as to ensure dedicated time for Sunday School. To grow personally and spiritually, we need a foundational understanding of God and His plan for our lives.

Trinity has deep roots in Ashland, planted in 1839 about a decade after the town’s founding. Worship had begun in homes, schoolhouses, barns, and then in a small log cabin. By 1840, 30-32 members, desiring a place of worship, were able to purchase a frame building, a former brewery that Universalists had converted into a church. In 1850 the congregation built a 40’x 60’ brick church building in which their membership grew to over 260, their debts were paid and they added a parsonage. But, sadly, in 1883 the church was one of 20 buildings that burned to the ground. By 1885, they completed building a new structure on the corner of Church & Third Streets and the congregation flourished there for over 75 years. In 1962, blessed and inspired by very generous gifts from the family of longtime member Kate Myers, Trinity built a beautiful and spacious new church attached to the Myers Home at 508 Center St.
Over the years, people, situations, and locations may change, but being “called to serve” has not changed as our priority. Projects such as Jack’s Place, youth facilities, office spaces, activities, events and overall repairs and improvements are selected as they support Trinity’s purpose.
We cherish our long heritage and are excited for the future as God brings people together here to love and serve our community and world. We welcome you to learn more about our storied history and would be delighted to share our past and future.
