About Holy Trinity Church

Who are the people of Holy Trinity Church?

Our Mission Statement:

Under constraint of the Gospel, guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit, the mission of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity is to bear witness to the crucified and risen Christ as his disciples.

What We Believe:

At Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, God makes us who we are. God loves all of creation. God loves all people. God loves us. God loves you.

What does it mean to be Lutheran?  A good place to start is to read Martin Luther’s Small Catechism.

At Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Christ has called us to ministry in this place.  Our first baptisms were performed in 1730, making our church older than America itself.  Through the centuries, no matter the conflict or strife, we have found solace, hope and peace by practicing our faith in the Crucified and Risen Lord.

The Apostles’ Creed

We have been made God’s people through our Baptism into Christ.  Living
together in trust and hope, we confess our faith:
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the
Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was
crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the
right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.

To learn more about Lutheran Theology read The Augsburg Confession.
