Trinity's Pastoral Transition

Welcome to our pastoral transition page. Trinity Lutheran Church is currently in a season of discernment as we seek a new permanent pastor to lead our congregation.

We are walking this path in close partnership with the Minneapolis Area Synod of the ELCA. Central to this process is our Ministry Site Profile (MSP)—a comprehensive "roadmap" that defines who we are today and articulates our vision for the future. This essential document serves as our primary introduction to the Synod and to the candidates who may one day call Trinity home.

Trinity Lutheran Church MSP Summary

Call Committee Corner

The Call Committee Corner serves as a dedicated space for the committee to provide the congregation with regular updates throughout the process of calling a new pastor.

May 2026 Update:

The Call Committee met with Pastor Jen Collins recently to review the process for calling a new pastor. The Minneapolis Area Synod is currently working to match our Ministry Site Profile (MSP) with potential pastoral candidates. We have concluded the nomination process and are moving into the next phase of discernment.

We ask for your continued prayers, patience, and support as we move forward together in this season of transition.
