Welcome.I would like to thank you for visiting and spending some time with us as we build Holy Trinity A.M.E. Church back better while moving forward together. This year's theme is “Building An Enduring Hope” and we pray that we will not only build our congregation, our community relations and our families but also grow in Enduring Faith that we have in God to help move us forward. We would love for you to join with us on this journey. Thank you for stopping by. We pray that, in some small measure, we may have encouraged, enlightened or empowered you to live your best life for God. Come back and visit us soon.

Our History
The History of Holy Trinity African Methodist Episcopal ChurchHoly Trinity AME Church was founded on September 17, 1989 in the home of the Reverends Emanuel Wasson, III and Juanita V. R. Wasson, located at 409 Altamira Road, Las Vegas, Nevada. The following year, we moved to Mountain View Lutheran Church on 920 South Decatur where we held afternoon services. On July 29, 1991, the Official Board voted unanimously to go before the Annual Conference and request that we be taken into the conference as a full member. During the 1991 Annual Conference the Bishop Vinton R. Anderson, then Presiding Prelate of the 5th Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, granted our request and took us into the conference. In June of 1992, to keep up with the needs of a growing congregation, Reverend Emanuel Wasson appointed Reverend Juanita Wasson as his Assistant Pastor. With the dynamic teachings of both Pastors, the congregation continued to grow and attract people of diverse backgrounds. On May 9, 1993, the church witnessed the acceptance into the ministry Cynthia Pitts, followed by Jacqueline Black on September 26, 1993. In 1995, the church relocated to 5243 West Charleston. In 1996, it was agreed that we should look towards our future and consider purchasing a church or building our own. Together we have worked towards this goal and in November of 2000 we moved to our past location 700 Lola Avenue, North Las Vegas, Nevada. Our edifice was dedicated on April 29, 2001 at 3:30 pm. We have been blessed with the ministry leadership of Reverend Delman Howard, Reverend Pamela Mason, Reverend Charles T. Wright and presently Reverend Kenny Baker. It has been a long, but fruitful journey and God has truly blessed us.
