    Administrative history

    Trinity United Church in Danville-Asbestos, initially of Congregational denomination, was organized in 1832 by Rev. Ammi Parker. It was the first Congregational Church established in the Eastern Townships. The first church was built around 1836 and was replaced by a new one in 1875. In 1912, the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches in Danville decided to unite and form a Federated Church. The Methodist Church, established in 1860 and sometimes known as the Danville Methodist Circuit, worked closely with the Federated Church. The circuit included the Townships of Shipton, Wotton, Cleveland, Warwick, Kingsey and Durham. In 1925, when the United Church of Canada was founded, amalgamating the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches, the Federated and the Methodist Churches, in Danville joined the Union to form Trinity United Church. Trinity United Church is under the jurisdiction of the Quebec-Sherbrooke Presbytery of the Montreal and Ottawa Conference of the United Church of Canada. The Church is governed by the Board of Trustees, the Official Board and the Congregation in co-operation with organizations within the Church, such as the Sunday School and the United Church Women.
