The Negro membership of St. John in 1840 numbered 324 of a membership of 610. The Negro membership desired a church of its own and at least 100 to 125 marched in a procession carrying lighted lamps and marched to the spot where the church now stands and worshipped under a brush arbor. The first building which was not more than a barn was built in 1843. Rev. James Harris of Athens, Ga. was the first pastor. The length of his pastorate is not recorded but he was followed by Rev. Ned West. In 1869, Dr. Goodrich a member of St. John bought and deeded to the members of Trinity the land where Trinity now stands. Rev. Lucius Holsey drafted a resolution and presented it to the General Conference that was held in New Orleans in 1876 to give Negroes a separate church. At the General Conference which met in Jackson, Tenn., the Rev. W.H. Miles and Rev. Richard Vanderhurst were elected bishops. The Rev. Vanderhurst died after serving a year or two. The General Conference was held at Trinity in 1973 and the Rev. Lucius Holsey, the Rev. Isaac Lane and the Rev. J.A. Bebee were elected bishops. About 1855, a Baptisimal fountain with a memorial tablet was placed in the altar under the Rev. C.H. Collins and a church parsonage was built under the Rev. E.L. Stinson. The church was rebuilt between 1889 and 1894 under the pastorate of the Rev. R.S. Williams who was elected bishop in 1894.
