Description

Trinity Church: A Preservation Story by Rev. Toni Pate chronicles the transformation of the historic Third Presbyterian Church in Greenville, SC, into Trinity Church. Founded in 1887, the church faced a devastating explosion in 1946 and decades of decline. By 2014, it was nearly uninhabitable. A small new congregation, Trinity Church, undertook the building’s restoration despite major structural and financial challenges. With community support and preservation expertise, the church was saved and rededicated in 2016, earning a state preservation award. The effort symbolizes faith, resilience, and a commitment to preserving Greenville’s architectural and spiritual heritage.
