Trinity Lutheran Church is a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation.

Trinity Lutheran Church understands that our mission as disciples of Jesus is to embody the scriptural call to foster wholeness of community by drawing all people together in love. We are, as St. Paul writes, ambassadors of reconciliation for the Christ through whom we are reconciled to God. We are agents of healing in a community of healing. That is why we offer unreserved welcome to all, and celebrate their presence among us.
Here at Trinity, we fully welcome every person into community, both as members and leaders.
We seek to provide a place of true sanctuary in a world that too often offers judgment instead of grace, and exclusion rather than embrace.
We celebrate racial and ethnic diversity, and welcome people of every race, culture, and background, including Indigenous peoples and immigrants.
We rejoice to fully include LGBTQIA+ people.
We embrace people with physical, mental health, and developmental disabilities, and people who are neurodivergent. Our building offers a safe and physically accessible environment.
We happily include people wherever they are on their faith journey, including seekers with deep doubts and questions, those who are new to the faith, and seasoned long-time believers.
We believe that when Jesus commanded his followers to live the Gospel with ALL people, he meant it, and we continually strive to live into that call.
This is a place where you are welcome to celebrate and sorrow, rejoice and recover. This is a place where lives are made new. We invite you to experience deep welcome in this community where we are being transformed by living the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ.
