Before the founding of Holy Trinity Church in Шаблон:Start date, Greek Orthodox Christians had to travel to Omaha, Nebraska to attend services. Paikos K. Pappaphilipopoulos, who would Americanize his name to "Peter Nelson", led the organization of a church. Their initial meeting was held at a Knights of Columbus Hall. In 1920, they purchased property near the downtown area for Шаблон:USD35,000 (Шаблон:Inflation).[1] There was a house on the property that was used as the parish's first church. Father Constantinos Harvelas served as the church's first pastor.

The cornerstone for the present church building was laid in the spring of 1925 and the church was dedicated on Шаблон:Date.

Metropolitan Iakovos of Krinis rededicated the church in Шаблон:Date.
