Our Neighbor

For over a decade, Trinity Lutheran Church & Schools has nurtured a vision of creating a space where community needs could be met with compassion, dignity, and collaboration. That vision is becoming reality through the Lynnwood Neighborhood Center (LNC), a project of Volunteers of America Western Washington rising on land provided by TLCS.

 

As this groundbreaking partnership nears completion—with doors set to open in early 2026—the TLCS/LNC Engagement Team has been commissioned by the Church Council to help prepare our congregation to be an active, relational, and welcoming presence alongside the LNC. The team’s work centers on strengthening partnerships, fostering meaningful communication, and equipping Trinity to live more fully into our call to be good neighbors—rooted in generosity, grounded in faith, and ready to grow with our community.

​

​Current members of the Engagement Team include Mike Schultz (chair), Pastor Hector Garfias-Toledo, David Greenlee, Larry Pennings, and Mary Denny.
