Background
We are located in northeast Tennessee about one mile from the North Carolina-Tennessee border on Highway 421 South. Trade is the oldest community in Tennessee. Daniel Boone established a trading post, from which comes the name Trade, so Native Americans and pioneer settlers could buy and sell their goods.
Trade United Methodist Church was established in 1923. In 1964, we moved to the current building. Our congregation numbers 62. Reverend Larry Rye is our pastor, who we share with
First United Methodist in Mountain City. You may reach the church office in Mountain City at (423) 727-7554. Trade United Methodist Church is a member of the
Holston Conference.
Vision
As members of the Christian community, we believe in the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus came to earth to preach and teach salvation through Him, take on our sins, die on the cross, and rise from the dead. He waits for you right now to join into the fellowship of Christians.
