WHAT WE BELIEVE EXPLORE ABOUT TRINITY WHAT WE BELIEVE STAFF MEMBERSHIP LIFE EVENTS CONTACT Understanding Our Faith Trinity is a Lutheran church, which means we understand our relationship with God begins with what God is doing in our lives. We are created by God the Father, reclaimed by Jesus Christ when we wander away, and guided by the Holy Spirit in our daily walk with God. We believe that we are claimed by God in Holy Baptism and that our faith is sustained by receiving Holy Communion. We worship weekly, finding hope in the presence of God in our midst. Our life of faith is expressed with three goals in mind: We are committed to Being Church in New Ways We are always looking for new and creative ways to share the new life we have found in Jesus Christ. We are committed to Seeing God in Our Daily Lives We are always on the lookout for the presence of God every single day. We are committed to Reaching Out to Those Living on the Margins We are always looking for ways to share the gifts of God with those around us – food, clothing, and support of many kinds. In short, Trinity is about Faithful Living and Changing Lives. "Faithful Living" is not perfect living, it's not flawless living, it's not faultless living. It's Faithful Living. Doing our best, making mistakes, being forgiven, and forgiving others. "Changing Lives" is about being church in new ways, seeing God at work every day, and reaching out to those living in poverty. And as lives are changed around us, we find that our own lives are changed as well. About the ELCA Trinity Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
