This United church in Elkhorn, in the Rural Municipality of Wallace-Woodworth, was constructed for the Elkhorn Methodist congregation in 1903 and, for a time, the building served both Methodists and Presbyterians. It became known as Elkhorn United Church following the 1925 unification of the Methodist, Congregationalist, and Presbyterian denominations. It is a municipally-designed historic site (1994).
Among the clerics who served as Trinity United were Rev. Lund, A. Hood, Rev. Daynard, G. Denys, T. Bird, G. Collpitts, E. Dixon, James Lionel Fargey (1946-?), Rev. Barkwell, R. D. Johnstone, A. Watson, G. Taylor, Paul Marshall Campbell, C. Boutilier, Dexter Dafoe, G. Blue (1980), and Fred Kamarous (1981).
