The History of Trinity PCABy Ruling Elder Howard Perry ~ November 1, 2001 Updated May 2009 by Ruling Elder/Church Administrator Michael C. Miller An organizational meeting for Trinity PCA was held at members' George and Lucille Alder's home on September 29, 1978, led by Ruling Elder Emeritus. Twelve people attended this first meeting. On December 3, 1978, the first church service was held at the Youth for Christ building in Harrisburg. This service was presided over by Teaching Elder Harry Miller preaching from the pulpit. Services were held there until purchase and settlement on a church building on July 16, 1979. The building, formerly known as Evangel Temple, was located at 200 N. 34th Street, Harrisburg, PA. The first service was held there on July 22, 1979, with 13 members present. On October 11, 1979 an official petition was presented to the Mid-Atlantic Presbytery concerning the organization of Trinity PCA being recognized as a particular church within the Presbytery, and the church was organized on December 2, 1979. Reverend Harry Miller arrived as Pastor 1978 With Pastor Stuart Perrin arriving 1985. The church with membership of approximately 65 on February 17, 1991, held a groundbreaking service on the property located at 6098 Locust Lane, Harrisburg to begin construction of the present church building. First service in this building was held August 1991 with Teaching Elder/Pastor Steven Heinbaugh preaching from the pulpit. Reverend Thomas L. Myers served as Pastor since June 1992 with Reverend David O. Kertland becoming Associate Pastor in October 2000. Reverend Robert P. Eickelberg was called as Senior Pastor in September 2003 and is currently serving in that capacity. Since the completion of the original building the membership has grown to 320 members. Ground breaking for an addition to this building took place on December 5, 1998 and was dedicated March 19, 2000. New facilities include a gym, fellowship hall, two kitchens, offices, classrooms, expanded narthex and increased seating in the sanctuary to approximately 320 persons.
