Trinity United Methodist Church

Trinity United Methodist's congregation was organized in 1824 before the city of Lafayette was founded. The lot where the church building is located was not purchased until 1868. The spires of the church were updated in the 1920s. The church is built in the Gothic Rival style.

Trinity's stained glass windows were designed by Edna Browning Ruby a world famous artist from Lafayette. She began making stained glass at the age of 28 and soon became world famous. She also made stained glass windows for area churches including Stidham United Methodist Church and Elston Presbyterian Church.

First Christian Church

The congregation of First Christian Church was organized in 1839. It moved between meeting places until 1914 when it constructed its current building. The church originally had open belfry, but this was removed in 1954. At that time a closed bell tower and addition were added.

The original building is in the Craftsman style. The additions to the building and new bell tower are built in the modern Gothic style giving the entire building a blended feel.
