In 1829, the first services in North Gower were held in the home of John Samuel Eastman. Holy Trinity Church, North Gower was erected in 1856. A stone structure replaced the small frame building in 1879 and was opened on April 22nd the following year. Bishop J. Travers Lewis consecrated Holy Trinity Church on January 13, 1886. A new brick rectory was built in 1903 and the old was rented out. Bishop Charles Hamilton consecrated the burial ground in 1905.
