Question 1

What is the worship gathering like?

Accepted Answer

At Holy Trinity Lutheran we offer both a contemporary and traditional service. 
Our contemporary service follows an "Ancient/Future" model, integrating more recent hymns into the service which are led by our praise team. The late service is a sung Divine Service, led by organ and choir. Whichever service you attend, you will encounter the living God as He comes to us in Word and Sacrament!

Question 2

What should I expect during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Visiting a new church can feel overwhelming, but we want to make your experience easy and welcoming from the moment you arrive.
Our friendly greeters will meet you at the door with a smile, ready to answer any questions and help you get settled. Come a few minutes early or stay after the service to enjoy complimentary coffee and pastries in our lobby—it's a great way to meet others and feel at home. We offer a safe, clean children's church for children ages 0–5th grade. You can attend the service knowing your little ones are well cared for. There’s no dress code—wear what’s comfortable. Whether it’s jeans or dress clothes, you’re welcome here.

We can’t wait to meet you!
