                                                       Introduction
In 1953 the three Circuits in Castleford joined together to form the Castleford Methodist Circuit.  The three town centre Churches at Carlton Street, Bradley Street and Powell Street continued holding services until 1957.  In that year the Rev. J. Roberts was appointed Superintendent Minister and the  three congregations came together and worshipped in Bradley Street. The Church became known as Trinity Methodist Church and was eventually joined by  members from Oxford Street, Smawthorne Lane, Whitwood Mere and Whitwood Churches.
Plans were made to build a completely new church and the site occupied by the Powell Street Church was selected.  The old church which stood on the site for 110 years was demolished and the building of the new church started in 1963.  In April of that year foundation stones were laid.  In April 1964 the new church was opened. 
In the years that followed members have joined with Trinity from Duke Street, Pontefract Road, Temple Street the Glasshoughton Churches and more recently from Townville which closed in 2008, Cutsyke in 2011 and Allerton Bywater in 2013.
