Trinity United Methodist Church
Bringing People Closer to Christ

Thank you for visiting the website of Trinity United Methodist Church in Newberry, South Carolina.

Trinity was established in 1835 and the first church building was not far from where the church now stands.

We are excited to be celebrating our 186th anniversary this year.

We are a nurturing and open church to all who enter into our Sanctuary.

We base our ministry on the Word of God and a caring spirit.

Jesus invites us to share our ministry to all that come into our church.

We would love to have you visit and worship with us.

Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors.

Meet Pastor Douglas Benton

Pastor Douglas Benton (Pastor Doug) is the new pastor serving Trinity UMC and New Chapel UMC beginning July 1, 2021. He will continue residing in Leesville, South Carolina.

Pastor Doug comes to us with experience in Urban Ministry, Rural Ministry and Transitional Ministry, having served in a number of churches since his first assignment at St. Marks/Cross UMC in Marion, NC, in 1996. His ministry has led him to serve congregations in Asheville, NC, as well as Columbia, Laurens, and Pinopolis, SC.

Pastor Doug has been a widow since 2016. He recently married Carrie Hutto. Together they have nine combined adult children, sixteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Pastor Doug retired in July, 2020, but still felt a strong calling to serve the Lord. When asked if he would come out of retirement to minister to Trinity and New Chapel, he gladly did so. Please stop by to see him or give him a call. He is anxious

to meet everyone.

Welcome Back Pastor Doug and

Carrie!

Our pastor, Doug Benton, has returned to the pulpit. We are so grateful that God has given him the strength to fight this battle with cancer. He is still weak and unable to perform the complete service, but he is having "Stool Time" and bringing the sermon each week.

He would still love to receive cards of encouragement. If you would like to send Pastor Doug a card, send it to the following address:
