Know God
We believe in one true God, the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Come to know Him at Trinity Lutheran Church.
A Message from Rev. David Clark
Please come and see all that Christ has done for you. We invite all who recognize that the world we live in is chaotic and dying. Come and see the Savior who is actively making all things new. We are robustly Lutheran in our confession that Christ has done all that is necessary for our salvation. All we can do in response is receive His gifts and love our neighbor.

FAQs
Q: I've never been to church before. How does this work? Do I make a reservation? Do I just show up?
A: You can just show up! There is no need to make a reservation or to call beforehand. We have space for you, and we often have people just show up.
However, you might feel more comfortable if you talked with us before arriving.
Even if you don’t talk with us before coming, you are welcome here.
Q: Where do I sit?
A: You are welcome to sit anywhere you wish. Seating is not reserved.
Q: Do I have to participate?
A: You are welcome to participate in the worship service to the extent that you feel comfortable. You do not need to sing any hymns or speak the creed or any other responses.
In general, it is polite to stand when the rest of the congregation stands and to sit when they sit, if you are able. However, if you are unable to stand or feel uncomfortable standing for the portions of the worship service when we stand, you are free to remain seated.
Q: What about communion?
A: Visitors and guest who are not members of Trinity are encouraged to visit with Pastor Clark to discuss our communion practices before partaking of the Lord’s Body and Blood.

If you wish to contribute, we take a freewill offering at our church and also offer online giving.
However, do not feel compelled to leave a contribution.
