Trinity UMC

Trinity UMC in Cartersville has a rich history rooted in faith, community, and service. Established in 1983, the church began as a small gathering of passionate believers dedicated to worship and fellowship. Over the years, it grew alongside the Cartersville community, expanding its outreach and facilities to meet the evolving needs of its congregation. From its humble beginnings to the vibrant church it is today, Trinity UMC has remained steadfast in its mission to share God’s love and provide a welcoming space for spiritual growth.

Through decades of worship, ministries, and community engagement, Trinity UMC continues to honor its legacy while looking forward to the future with hope and purpose.We firmly believe that our best days are not behind us and we are more committed than ever for living out our mission: “loving one another to Christ.”
