Welcome

Trinity Lutheran Church is a member of the Central Illinois District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. As Lutherans, we in the LCMS share a strong belief in the Holy Scriptures as the inspired inerrant Word of God. It is by God's grace alone, through our faith worked in us by the Holy Spirit, that we believe in Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation.

Attention Veterans
In an attempt to honor any of our members who have served our country in
any branch of the military services, we’d like to compile information on them. This includes everyone, alive or passed away. The type of information needed is: name, alive or deceased, branch of service, approximate dates served, any combat involvement, any special awards received, picture (in uniform or not). This should be turned into the church office. Near Veteran’s Day we hope to have a special display to honor our veteran’s.

We are in need of ushers, especially for the 10:45 service. If you are interested in helping out at this service please contact the church office.

We are also in need of drivers to pick up members who need a ride to church. Transportation should never be the reason for someone to miss worship. Call
the church office if you can help.

Greeters are needed too! If you can greet members as they enter the sanctuary please let us know.

We need Bible Breakfast helpers for the 4th Sunday of the month and when there is a 5th Sunday of the month. Please contact the church office at 346-1391 if you can help.
