Action News Jax’s Courtney Cole explains why the city closed the church and shares what she learned about its historical significance
Trinity Independent Methodist Church has been sitting on the corner of Bridge and Oneida streets in Lincolnville since 1911.
It’s one of the oldest Protestant congregations in Florida, according to the Lincolnville Community Redevelopment Agency.
“The church is definitely a part of the fabric of St. Augustine . It’s very much worthy of preservation,” said Charles Tingley, the Senior Research Librarian at St. Augustine Historical Society.
