Holy Trinity Mission Statement 

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church commits itself to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the benefit of the Church and the world.

Holy Trinity Vision Statement 

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, a congregation of The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and ecumenical partner with other Christian Churches, draws its life from God’s grace through Word, Bath and Meal.  We will teach the congregation, young and old, so that informed biblically and doctrinally it will be equipped to be a teaching congregation for the benefit of the larger church and world.  The congregation celebrates both the Church and world as God’s creation through which God has been and will continue to be active.  The congregation will reach out to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, with all people without regard to race, ethnic origin, gender, economic status, sexual orientation, or any other human category.  We will equip people through liturgical music/worship, prayer, staffing, small groups and study to embody the Gospel in thought, word and deed.  We celebrate the presence of God's Spirit working through us as we give ourselves, our time and our possessions to the Glory of God and the welfare of God's people.
