Statement of Welcome and Affirmation:

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, as a community of the people of God, affirms its intention to openly welcome and value every person who walks through our doors regardless of age, race, gender identities, marital status, sexual orientations, national and ethnic origins, economic status, addictions, and mental, physical, and emotional conditions.
We affirm that we are all unique individuals created by God, in need of God's forgiveness, and made worthy through Jesus Christ of God's love and mercy.  All persons named and unnamed above are welcome within the membership of our congregation upon making the same affirmation of faith that all members make. 

At Holy Trinity, it is our pleasure to let you be yourself.  Join the worship or just watch.  Say hello or just blend in.  We have three services with distinct styles, so pick the one you prefer and join us this weekend. 

5:00pm Saturday - Informal Worship

This service features piano music and a relaxed style of worship.

9:30am Sunday - Traditional Worship

This services features organ music, adult choir, children's choirs, a children's sermon and a style of worship that is liturgical and engaging.

11:00am Sunday -  Journey worship

 All of the elements of this service appear on a large screen.  This service is held in the sanctuary. Converging the old story with the new world, the service features visuals such as music videos, movie clips, and the gospel on video. Piano music is also part of the service. 

The sermon for each of our services is based on the Good News (Gospel) reading for the day. Communion is offered at every service. Our communion table is open to all.

Guests are welcome and appreciated! Here a few more answers to questions you probably are asking:

Who are we?

Holy Trinity congregation is made up of a wide range of different people, from all ages and different backgrounds. You are assured a very warm welcome at Holy Trinity.

When to arrive?

If it's your first visit, it's best to arrive about 10 minutes before the service begins. There is a parking lot on the east side of the church with spaces for visitors. Feel free to park in one of these spaces. You will be greeted in the parking lot and at the door by our Welcome team. There is a Welcome Desk right inside the Division Street entrance that has information for you to pick up about Holy Trinity and our coming events. If the lot is full, please park at the funeral home across the street, or in Congregation Kneseth Israel's Parking lot, or in the School District U-46 lot which is right down the alley. Please note that Holy Trinity is in the odd-even parking ban district. You may only park on the street on the side with odd house numbers on the odd days of the month and on the side with even house numbers on the even days of the month. 

What to wear?

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. We accept people as they are. Our worshipers wear everything from shorts and blue jeans to dresses and suits.

What to expect?

Here's a quick summary of what you can expect at Holy Trinity. We are a friendly church, if you need to know something, please ask! The usher will give you a full-service worship folder. This contains everything you need to know to participate in our worship service. Services begin and end  with either piano or organ music depending upon which service you attend. The sermon is always based upon the good news from one of the four Gospels. Communion is offered at every service every week. Everyone is welcome to our communion table. You don't have to be a member of Holy Trinity or even a member of another church. We believe that Jesus welcomes all. If you don't feel comfortable receiving communion, you can either remain in your seat or come forward for a blessing. On Sundays you are invited to come for coffee at 9:00am and 10:30am. Our aim is that whether you are looking into Christianity for the first time or have been a Christian for many years, that you should be encouraged and inspired by worship. We hope that everyone will draw closer to God.

What we believe:

We are an inclusive church and believe that everyone is welcome to worship and also to communion. We believe that everyone can have a relationship with God. Check out the "What We Believe" page for more information.

Handicap parking is available in our parking lot. Our building is wheelchair accessible throughout.
