2023-07-24 - Trinity moved to its current address in 1963, and has had two digital organs, currently owning a 4 manual Allen. Prior to 1963, Trinity was located at 1501 Marquette Street in Davenport. That location was sold to Davenport Church of Christ, who subsequently sold it to Wesleyan Nazarene church. This location is where the Reuter organ is, and it is still there as of 2023. -Riley Sindt
