Dear Friends,
We’re so glad you’re here! Trinity Lutheran Church is a gathering of caring and open-minded children of God, and we welcome you, regardless of where you are on your faith journey. We believe that God’s grace abounds.
We’re also a small but mighty congregation, with a lot of energy to serve God’s mission in the community. Ministries to help our neighbors in need are our favorite forms of outreach. We also host Venturing Crew 907, and we expect to soon be hosting a Girl Scout troop.
Our worship services encourage participation from the congregation, so that we are indeed worshipping God together. We usually follow a traditional order of worship and we include a variety of music. Trinity’s music ministry offers many opportunities for people to participate!
Sunday morning worship is at 10:30 a.m. Visitors are always welcome. All baptized Christians are invited to receive Holy Communion. We have 4th Sunday Fellowship each month after worship, with delicious snacks and cheerful conversation.
Please check out this website to learn more about Trinity and our events and activities. You can sign up here to receive our weekly e-news. Join us for worship on a Sunday morning. I’ll be so glad to meet you!
Grace and peace,
Pastor Ann Kelly

What do Lutherans believe?
We believe that all people are imperfect and are saved (made right with God) by God’s grace and God’s grace alone, through Christ. There is no special prayer you need to pray, no special state of mind you need to achieve and no good deed you need to perform. We believe that through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God became one of us and took upon himself the sin and suffering of all the world. God did this to demonstrate God’s love for us. We believe that we receive the gift of grace by faith alone on account of Christ. We live in the tension of still being sinful but trusting that we are forgiven and that God is at work in us. The gift of grace expresses God’s unconditional love, and in response to that love we are set free to live gratefully and lovingly.
An important date in the Lutheran tradition is Oct. 31, 1517, when a German monk named Martin Luther started a movement known as the Reformation. He insisted the Bible showed that salvation could not be earned or bought, which was contrary to church teachings at the time. Luther believed salvation was a gift and a sign of God’s never-ending love. The most influential documents for our church were written by him and other Lutheran reformers. These are compiled in the Book of Concord. Key writings there include the Augsburg Confession and Martin Luther’s Small Catechism. We don’t believe that you are born or are baptized Lutheran, but if you participate in the Lutheran tradition, you identify as a Lutheran Christian.
