Trinity's mission

EQUIPPING people to GROW in Christ at home and go in SERVICE to the world.


EQUIPPING people:

"to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ" (Ephesians 4:12)


"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named" (Ephesians 3:14-15)


to GROW in Christ at home:

" But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." (2 Peter 3:18)


and go in SERVICE to the world:

"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)

TRINIty's mission values

Walking in worship and the word, learning together, faith in families, and being outwardly focused are the values that guide our actions as a congregation and reveal the strengths of the church.


Walking in Worship and the Word: (Acts 2:46-47, Mark 12:30, Col. 3:16-17, 1 Cor. 10:31)

We are a church that is centered on God's word and a worshipful life.

We show this by:

  • frequent opportunities for worship, school chapels and devotions in order to help all grow in Christ
  • striving to glorify and praise God in everything we do
  • reverent thankfulness and prayerfulnes in our approach to life
  • regularly praying all kinds of prayers for all kinds of people and situations recognizing that God is in control and answers according to His will


Learning Together (Acts 2:42, Prov 27:17)

We are a church that learns and grows in Christ through relationships with one another.

We show this by:

  • championing life-long education among our membership
  • providing a Lutheran day school in our community since 1870
  • gathering togehter for Sunday school, bible studies, and small groups
  • a shared humility that we don't know everything
  • an earnest desire to grow in our knowledge so that we can share with others



Faith in Families (Gen. 2:24, Acts 2:46b, Deut. 6:4-9)

We are a church that treasures God's gift of family, His first institution.

We show this by:

  • recognizing and naming the primary growth center for faith is the home
  • having faith in parents and other adults to be influential spiritual leaders
  • intentionally connecting with and equipping parents as spiritual leaders in their homes
  • scheduling and structuring church and school events in a way that is geared to and for families
  • encouraging, equipping, and inspiring all to live a life of every day faith
  • speaking the importance of changing the world, starting at home


Outwardly Focused (Ph. 2:3-5, Acts 2:44-45, 2 Cor. 9:6-8)

We are a church that lives generously.

We show this by:

  • collaborating to use spirtual gifts in service (World Changers Program)
  • consistant, ongoing care for the needy:  focusing on elderly, hospitalized, and impoverished
  • being warmly invitational with people we encounter
  • responding to specific, expressed needs
  • proportional giving (tithing) as a congregation (and as individuals)
