Trinity united methodist (pastors) 1811-1880 

These records can be found on microfilm 134 here at the Madison-Jefferson County Public Library.

Wesley Chapel was founded in Madison between 1812-1819 with the founding pastor Walter Griffith. The church was originally known as the Madison Methodist Episcopal, but in 1819 officially changed its name to Wesley Chapel. In 1867-1868 the church was joined by St. John’s Methodist and took the name of Trinity. In 1869 the congregation resumed the name of Wesley Chapel when the St. John’s congregation left. Eventually in 1881 the church merged again with Trinity which at that time consisted of St. John’s and Robert’s Chapel. From – Jackie Richards – Churches and Church Records in Jefferson County, Indiana.
