What We're About
building. belong. becoming.
Welcome!
Whatever has led us here, whether it’s a lifetime of faith or a lifetime of questions, days of joy or days of pain, moments of hope or moments of frustration, and no matter the color of our skin, our political affiliation, sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions, or age, ALL ARE WELCOME!

Trinity's Values.
In 2019–2020, Trinity engaged in a Values, Direction, and Action (VDA) process to clarify our shared identity, focus our ministry priorities, and shape a culture aligned with God’s mission. Guided by leadership, congregational input, and the Spirit’s leading, this process helped define the core values we live out today—emphasizing service, inclusion, relationships, communal worship and learning, and multi-generational ministry. The VDA process continues to inspire how Trinity builds belonging, grows disciples, and participates in God’s ongoing work in the world. Click the tabs to read more about Trinity's Core Values:
Christ-inspired Service in Our Community (Local and Global)
Jesus' love calls Trinity to serve all people, near and far, with compassion and humility. Service is a two-way street—offering help and receiving it, learning from the rich gifts others bring. Trinity strives to be open to new ways of being church in the world, breaking down silos, and collaborating across ministries and communities.
Trinity's Focus.
building
Building one another up, building a community, building spaces for growth, and accompanying one another in a collaborative environment of mutual trust as all people join God’s unfolding reign.
belonging
Developing intentional and authentic relationships that connect people with one another and with God, include, and embrace all people as we accompany, serve, and care for all people.
becoming
As we journey together, we are growing into the people that God called us to be by engaging with the community in word and action.
Trinity's Beliefs.
We profess our faith with the words of the Apostles’ Creed, which is Trinitarian in structure: 3 sections affirming belief in one God who is three persons, God the Father/Mother/Creator, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We trust in the ordinary means of grace manifest in the Word (primarily through preaching, but also in reading of scripture) and the Sacraments (Holy Baptism and the Lord’s Supper), through which God freely gives grace and blessings that make an extraordinary impact on the people of God.

We are the church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. For us as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, 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. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person — questions, complexities and all.
As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. With our hands, we do God’s work of restoring and reconciling communities in Jesus Christ’s name throughout the world.

Reconciling in Christ.

Since 1983, the Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Program has been a public way for faith communities to see, name, celebrate, and advocate for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions in the Lutheran church. The RIC Program is made up of congregations, synods, colleges, seminaries, outdoor ministries, and other Lutheran organizations. Trinity has been an RIC congregation since 2005.
