New Life Anglican Church is an Anglican parish located in a historic church building at 219 State Street in Petoskey, Michigan. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 under the name Trinity Evangelical Church.
History
The Trinity Evangelical Church was founded in 1878, and the congregation first met in private homes. Two years later, they constructed a church at the corner of Howard and Grove Street. They later sold this building, and for a time held services in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The Trinity Evangelical congregation constructed this church in 1929. The congregation later changed its name to Trinity Missionary Church in the Missionary Church.
In 2013, Trinity Missionary Church relocated to a newer building on the east side of Petoskey and sold its NRHP-listed State Street building to New Life Anglican Church, a church plant of the Anglican Church in North America in the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes.
