About / Welcome

“Holy Trinity is an ELCA and Reconciling in Christ congregation where God’s love is for everyone—without exception. You don’t need the right words, all the answers, or a perfect faith. Come as you are.”

What We Believe

“We believe God’s love is a gift. It is not something we earn by believing the right things, behaving perfectly, or having life figured out.”

“We are grounded in scripture and the traditions of the church while remaining open to where the Spirit is leading.”
