About Us
Our mission
At Trinity, we are dedicated to embodying the essence of our faith through welcoming all with open arms, just as Jesus did—generously, joyfully, and lovingly. Our commitment to living together in God’s love compels us to embrace forgiveness, transformation, and the healing of our world. Through sharing the joy of Jesus Christ, we cultivate an atmosphere of laughter, love, and celebration, recognizing that our imperfections are overshadowed by the divine gift of grace, making us vessels of God’s presence in our communities.
What we believe
Christianity is a religion based on the teachings and miracles of Jesus. It is living a Christian life because of Jesus Christ. We believe that Christians are called and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live our lives in service to the world. Through acts of love and justice, worship and witness, we share God’s boundless love with the world.
As members of the ELCA, we share with all Christians a worldwide community of faith. Through Christ, we are united with other Christians and we recognize a wide fellowship of churches. We work alongside them in ecumenical ministry and service, both in the United States and across the globe.
We hope this site offers you a window into Trinity Lutheran Church: who we are, what we believe, and how God brings us together as a welcoming faith community living together in God’s love to share the joy of Jesus Christ.

Reconciling In Christ welcoming statement
Trinity Lutheran – ELCA is a welcoming and inclusive church. We welcome believers, seekers, and the curious, regardless of religious background. We are Reconciling in Christ, which means we strive to ensure the welcome, inclusion, celebration, and advocacy for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions; to work for racial equity and to commit to anti-racist work.
God makes no distinction based on race, ethnicity, immigration status, economic status, physical, mental, or developmental issues, or other life circumstances. God loves and welcomes all people. Therefore, we welcome all people to the life of Christ at Trinity.
A congregation of the ELCA
What is the ELCA?
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States, with about 4 million members in nearly 10,000 congregations across the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
We are the church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. For us, as the ELCA, this faith comes through the good news of Jesus Christ and gives us the freedom and the courage to wonder, discover, and boldly participate in what God is up to in the world.
"Lutheran" comes from following the teachings of Martin Luther
Luther was a German theologian who realized that there were significant differences between what he read in the Bible and the practices of the Roman Catholic church at that time. On October 31, 1517, he posted a challenge on the door of Wittenberg University, titled “95 Theses” (to debate 95 theological issues). His hope was that the church would reform its practice and preaching to be more consistent with the Word of God as contained in the Bible.
