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. ^[1]

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. ^[2] The Trinity Evangelical congregation constructed this church in 1929. The congregation later changed its name to Trinity Missionary Church in the Missionary Church. ^[3]

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. ^[4]

Description

The church is a 2+1⁄2-story Classical Revival brick structure with a single story polygonal entrance and a gable roof. The front facade has a central projecting feature containing a large multi-paned window in a round arch, and topped with four blind archways. This feature is repeated on the side facades. Additional windows along the side are multi-paned rectangular units. ^[3]
