Center City Churches in Fort Myers Build Together

Churches across denominational lines are building together in Fort Myers, Florida.

Trinity Village is both a concept and a dream.

The CONCEPT: Churches of different denominations share a common ground with separate worship facilities and common administration, education, social and parking space.

THE DREAM: The congregations of the First Baptist Church of Fort Myers, the First United Methodist Church of Fort Myers, and the First Presbyterian Church of Fort Myers will share approximately 5 acres in downtown Fort Myers where First Baptist and First Presbyterian are currently located across the street from each other with First Methodist to build a new sanctuary in between. The gym and commercial kitchen at First Baptist Church will be shared. Current aging buildings will be replaced. New construction may include: new dining hall (which could serve at a hurricane shelter for downtown Fort Myers), new education and office space to be shared by all three congregations, entry level and senior housing and a new parking garage
