Stone exterior and entrance of Trinity United Methodist Church in Durham

One of Durham’s oldest churches, Trinity was founded in 1832—before Durham was even a town. Its congregation first gathered in a small schoolhouse, and the church has remained part of the city’s story through generations of worship and service.

Parking & Arrival

The church parking lot is directly in front of the building and slightly to the right. If you are arriving on Church Street, it will be easy to spot.

Downtown Durham
Durham, North Carolina

The Rickhouse reception space with string lights, wood ceilings, and wedding decor

The Rickhouse is an industrial-chic event space in the heart of downtown Durham that overlooks the famed Durham Athletic Park, original home of the Durham Bulls. Once a marketplace where tobacco vendors sold to cigarette companies, it remains a piece of Durham history and a reminder of the industry that helped shape the economy of Durham and North Carolina. With exposed brick, reclaimed wood accents, and warm, intimate lighting, it offers a relaxed yet elegant setting that feels like home — perfect for celebrating with family and friends.
