Mission at Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church is a congregation of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America whose primary mission is the
worship of God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God in three
persons – in Word and Sacrament and the sharing of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ by which our sins are forgiven so that we may be
inheritors of eternal life. Our ministry as a congregation is a
servant ministry, which reaches out with the Gospel into the
community, and brings aid and comfort to the sick, shut in, dying,
poor, and others in need. We call the wider community to do justice
without forgetting that we ourselves are to be a community that is
to set a moral example, bearing fruit that comes from faith in Jesus
Christ.
We Christians, who assemble as Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran
Church, are called to engage in a life of prayer, awaiting that day
when all our prayers shall be fulfilled in the manifestation of the
heavenly Jerusalem, the City of God. As pilgrim-believers, we travel
together through the changes and complexities of life, asking God to
fill us with joy and with hope. We recognize that we travel with a
much larger host, Christians from other denominations and from other
places. This larger reality, the catholic church, awaits with us the
coming of the Lord. We pray with the entire Christian Church on
earth; Come, Lord Jesus.
