Trinity United Methodist Church of Bordentown is a part of the United Methodist Church. Methodism traces its roots back to John Wesley, an Anglican priest in the Church of England, in the 1700s. John and his brother Charles intended to revitalize the church by forming small groups that met regularly and followed a “methodical” pursuit of the radical love of neighbor.

Methodists, as we are today, formed in 1968 after merging the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church to become the United Methodist Church. Methodism first spread to Ireland and then to America, officially becoming a denomination in 1784. Today, United Methodist membership stands at over six million worldwide.

United Methodists have long been known for emphasizing personal faith, lived out in concrete ways in the world. For United Methodists, social consciousness has always gone hand in hand with faith. We support mission and justice work locally, regionally, and worldwide.The United Methodist Church.
