Trinity's Mission

Because God first loved us, we live as Jesus in the world, loving God and loving neighbor.

Wherever you are in your journey with God, you are welcome here. We are an open, affirming community for people of all ages, families of all kinds, and people of every generation. We appreciate a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and beliefs.

WELCOME STATEMENT.

Trinity Lutheran Church is a faithful community in the heart of Stillwater.  We seek to be a church grounded in the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ.  In doing so, we intentionally educate ourselves in becoming more effective advocates for all of God’s people.  We embrace those of strong, uncertain, or undiscovered faith.  We embrace all sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions.  We embrace every age, family structure, race, ethnicity, physical and mental capacity, and economic circumstance.  We believe all people have been created in the image of God, and therefore have valuable stories and infinite worth.
