Trinity United Methodist Church

Kimball, Nebraska

Trinity United Methodist Church is located in Kimball, Nebraska. The Trinity UMC Church was founded in 1886, with an addition added in 1952 to support the spiritual needs of the growing population in Kimball, and the surrounding area. Through the years, Trinity UMC has provided a church home for countless community members looking for answers in what can sometimes be a confusing world. With faith in Jesus Christ as the bridge to peace, all things are possible. And with all things possible, Trinity UMC will continue to serve the community in which it was founded for years to come.

The present day sees Trinity UMC continuing to praise God and share what God has gracefully given to us: love, grace and forgiveness. Our church is part of the Kimball Ministerial Association, working closely with the other churches to support the community. We invite all to join us as we journey towards growth in our faith, fellowship, and a stronger relationship with Christ.
