General note
Trinity was organized as the Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Silverton, Oregon. The name Trinity was adopted in 1917. It was a member of the Norwegian Synod and formed by a group of Scandinavians who came from the Midwest. The first pastor came in 1893, and a church was erected that year. As this was too small, a new church was built in 1919. In 1954 an education unit was constructed, and in 1971 extensive remodeling was completed on the sanctuary and front of the building.
