In addition to the Marble Collegiate, he sometimes attends the Episcopalian Bethesda-by-the-Sea church in Palm Beach. I don’t think he is a member of either, but his association with the Marble Collegiate has gone back for decades. Even in the 1980s, people were already writing about the profound influence the Marble Collegiate’s famous preacher and writer Norman Vincent Peale had on Trump. I believe Trump’s parents’ funerals were held there too in 1999 and 2000, respectively.
As a boy, he had his confirmation as a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens, NYC. From what I understand, he had to have religious classes and a profession of faith as part of being confirmed.

Thanks FB. Yes, I see he has attended both on occasion. He’s of the “go to Church at Easter, Christmas, weddings and funerals type of Christian”...but that’s OK because most American Christians have similar Church going habits.
