Excerpt from Celebrating 100 Years of Ministry: A History of Trinity United Church of Christ; St. John's Reformed Church, the German Reformed Church of Conover, Trinity-St. John's, Trinity Reformed Church, Trinity Evangelical and Reformed Church, Trinity United Church of Christ; 1892-1992 AS has been pointed out, before there was a Trinity Reformed Church in Conover, there was a Reformed congregation in the Conover area of Catawba County. And, in fact, Trinity is the continuation of the old St. John's Reformed Church. When the church was organized on August 20, 1892, fifteen of its seventeen charter members were trans ferred from St. John's. St. John's continued as a Reformed congregation, but with the passage of time, its members were either added to the rolls of Trinity or absorbed into the membership of St. John's Lutheran. In addition to the need to preserve Reformed identity, the prevailing factor in beginning a Reformed Church in Conover was the existence of two Sunday Schools that operated independently and were each in the village of Conover. One was near the present railroad crossing and the other just north of the town in the home place of Pinkney Rowe.
