    Meet Trinity Church:

    Trinity Church is a healthy, community-minded, disciple-making congregation which has honored the past but focuses on God’s calling to future generations. Trinity serves a diverse working class and multi-generational neighborhood through a strong AWANA & Youth program, dynamic biblically based small groups, engaging worship experiences as well as a professional community counseling ministry. We minister to over 700 people with an average in-person worship attendance of 350 as well as online worshipers. During the past 30 years, the congregation has raised up over 10 pastors, supported 7 missionaries, developed 15 youth leaders, and made hundreds of disciples. Though Trinity is part of the LCMC denomination (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ), most of the members come from different Christian backgrounds and many are new believers.  Trinity’s motto is “Come as you are.”
