Our History
130 Years of Hope: Trinity Covenant
Our Story
Trinity Covenant Church has a rich history, dating back over 130 years to a group of Swedish immigrants who were new to the United States but firm in their faith. After settling in Manchester, they recognized the need for a church that could serve and support fellow newcomers. Through prayer, perseverance, and sacrifice, the foundation of Trinity Covenant Church was laid.
Our Mission
At Trinity Covenant Church, we believe that transforming the world begins by transforming individual lives. What started with a small group of Swedish immigrants has grown into a global-reaching, life-giving church. Though our language, location, and size have evolved over time, one core truth has remained constant: we believe that Jesus Christ is the world’s one and only hope.
Inspired by the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18, we are driven not by the pursuit of success, but by the call to obedience—Jesus’ command to “go.” Our mission is to help people discover that the hope they’ve been searching for is found in Jesus alone. No solution offered by the world can compare to the life-changing power of Christ.
Our hope is to bring real and lasting change to our community, one life at a time—just as our founders did over a century ago. We invite you to be a part of this mission as we continue to reach others with the love of Christ.
