Trinity Chapel (Bethel Temple Church)

Trinity Chapel is one of the oldest buildings in Far Rockaway, and its imposing strict north-south alignment is quite the treat.

The woodframe building, designed by Richard Upjohn in 1858 in Gothic Revival style, is quite imposing on Mott Avenue. In that time span it’s seen a lot of things come and go, including its own parsonage, as well as several denominational changes: St. John’s Church; Beth-El Temple and the Church of God in Christ.
