Trinity Reformed Church built a small frame structure on this lot in 1871. By the mid-1890s the growing congregation needed a larger worship space and hired E. Milligan as the architect to design the "lantern" style buff brick church in 1897. Andrew Carnegie was a friend of one of the parishioners and thus donated a pipe organ to the church.
Over the years the church became Trinity Evangelical Reformed Church, New Birth Worship Center, Ark Ministries, and now Arc of the Covenant Church. In 1955 a large red brick educational building was erected. This is where the congregation meets today, as the buff brick building has roof leakage problems.
