God in all of His Glory has blessed the Trumbull congregation with a long history here in Connecticut. We are one of the oldest congregations in New England with documents, record books, photos of the early church, a bible dating back to 1595 that was donated to Trumbull by the family of one of the original Bridgeport elders will be displayed, and more items that document the beginning and growth of the church here.
