Our inspiration comes from a deeply rooted faith in Jesus Christ, in whom we "live and move and have our being". (Acts 17:28)
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church is a member of the Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). The LCMC views their local churches as the place where people in the community come to get connected with God and one another. They celebrate the fact that everyone
is wired a little differently; which allows each and every one of us to serve according to our own unique strengths, skills and talents. WHAT WE BELIEVE: We believe in the Triune God. We believe the mystery of God is best explained and understood in the language of "the three in one". We are created in God's image and likeness to share God's love for all. We invite you to journey with us and join our mission: "We the people of God are created to share Jesus' love and grace through faith." HOW WE WORSHIP: There is variety and tradition alive in worship here at Trinity! We share the meal of Holy Communion, where Jesus is present in bread and wine. We baptize with water, and celebrate our life as children of God. We confess our sin and hear the promise and gift of forgiveness proclaimed in words spoken and read. We listen to the Word of God from the Bible. We sing beloved hymns and new songs of praise. Once a year we celebrate worship with a Polka Service! We share the peace and give offerings with thanksgiving to God. We go out in the power of the Spirit, to "serve the Lord!"
HOW WE SHARE: Trinity has a desire to share the faith. Sunday School and a Vacation Bible School begins at age 3 and continues through high school. Wednesday evening our youth are active Confirmation and high school youth group. Choir tops off our Wednesday evening, where high school youth and adults sing together. Adult opportunities to learn include a weekly Bible Study. Join the men and women downtown at the Lantern Coffeehouse on Wednesday mornings at 9am. Meals are shared and greatly enjoyed in our lovely and spacious fellowship hall. All are invited; come and stay for coffee following worship! HOW WE SERVE: Outreach is alive and well and growing at TELC. Weekly Noisy Offerings & Buckets of Bucks are a joyful part of our giving to local and global needs. Giving beyond ourselves, of our time and our talents, is all part of the TELC Ministry.
