Delaware, Sussex County, Laurel
![]()
In 1865, Reverend Isaac Adkins of the
Methodist Protestant Church began to
conduct services in Dorothy School House.
The congregation was formally organized
the following year. Meetings continued
to be held in the school until 1873,
when adjoining property was obtained
and the present church was constructed.
Formally designated as Trinity M. P.
Church, it became part of a circuit
that once included Shiloh, St. Paul’s,
and Providence. The church was extensively
rebuilt in 1907. After the closing of
the school the congregation continued
to use the structure as a Community Hall.
Damaged by a major storm in October 1954,
the old building was moved to a nearby
location and the present hall was
constructed in its place. Facilities
were further expanded in 1968 with the
construction of a new Sunday School addition.
