 The first local minister, Jacob Krehbiel from Canada, came to Butler County in 1825. In 1828 Peter Naffziger arrived, having come from [[Europe]] by way of [[Canada]]. He at once became a leader in the colony. The congregation grew, and in 1830 Jacob Augspurger was chosen and ordained to the office of bishop, the first Amish Mennonite preacher ordained in Butler County.
-The same year there was an immigration of Hessian Mennonites, who differed from the Amish Mennonites already here as they had [[Musical instruments|musical instruments]] and wore more modern clothing. They were initially accepted into the Augspurger congregation, but the differences caused stress with the more plain Amish Mennonites, and by 1835 they could no longer worship together.

 That year the congregation divided into the Augspurger Amish Mennonite and Hessian Mennonite congregations. Some outsiders called them the Hook-and-Eye and Button churches. The former emphasized plainness and wore hooks and eyes on their clothes instead of buttons, while the latter permitted freedom in dress and encouraged education.

 In about 1976, the congregation changed its name to Trenton Mennonite Church. This name had been used informally going back to Henry J. Krehbiel's ministry, but the Apostolic Mennonite Church name continued to be used in some articles in ''[[Mennonite, The (1885-1998) (Periodical)|The Mennonite]]'' into the 1980s.
