What to Expect

What are services like?
We follow the traditional ELCA liturgy and our services are filled with beautiful organ music from our Cassavant organ. Music has always played an important role here at Trinity. Our Senior Choir is comprised of music professionals who have sung with the Metropolitan Opera Company, Richmond County Choral Society and the Wagner College Choir as well as folks who just love to sing. Many of our members also teach at Wagner College and other neighborhood schools

What is the community like?
We are a community of young and old, straight, gay, hipsters, hippies, those in recovery, (or not), musicians, teachers, artists, moms, dads, kids, teens and elders. We are warm, quiet, noisy, and boisterous but most importantly we listen to the words of our Lord and Savior and try to follow His path. We have a wonderful Feeding Ministry, one of the largest on the Island that feeds folks every Saturday, rain, shine or blizzard and always need volunteers!

What if I'm not a Christian?
The faith of the Lutheran Church is grounded in Holy Scripture which together with the creeds and the confessions of the church, provides a stable faith in often chaotic and troubling times. We are a sacramental church stressing Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as the means of God’s grace and gift of the Holy Spirit. All who are baptized are welcomed to receive Holy Communion. Those who seek to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, but not yet baptized are welcomed at the table for a blessing.
