History of Trinity Presbyterian (PCA) Church Trinity Presbyterian Church in Van Wyck, South Carolina, was founded on July 1, 1973.  There were thirty-five founding members who joined with representatives from many other churches in forming Calvary Presbytery, part of a new denomination known today as the Presbyterian Church in America.  It is commonly called the PCA. The founding members of Trinity were part of and continued to meet at the Van Wyck Presbyterian Church (PC-USA).  On August 3, 1975, a court order forced them to find another place to hold services.  Elder Sheron Thompson was proprietor of a general store in downtown Van Wyck, and he invited the members of Trinity to meet in his store building.  Pastor James Freeman encouraged the congregation to buy land and build a church.  God encouraged the congregation by providing unexpected large sums of money to four members who chose to tithe.  He also made land available On August 6, 1978, ground was broken for construction of the new church building on the present four-acre site.  The building was completed in the fall of 1979.  The Lord also provided for all furnishing for the building and landscaping.  The Women in the Church (WIC) met every month, and a Prayer Meeting was held on Thursdays preceded by choir rehearsal.  In 1982 the steeple and picnic shelter were built.  In 1987 the debt on the building was paid in full.  The church sign was added in 1988. On April 8, 1990, a building committee was elected to oversee enlargement of the church.  Ground was broken on May 2, 1993 on the new wing, and the dedication ceremony was held November 14, 1993.  The sanctuary was enlarged, a new narthex added, the fellowship hall expanded and a kitchen built.  There were also new restrooms, a nursery, six classrooms, and a janitor’s closet, making a total addition of 4,256 square feet.  One of the new classrooms is now the pastor’s office.  A covered outdoor entryway was added shortly thereafter. Presbytery boundaries have changed over the years.  In 2004 Trinity moved from Palmetto Presbytery to Fellowship Presbytery, due to the closer proximity.
