Board Announcement Regarding Special Voters Meeting

At the meeting on Sunday, April 6, the voting members of our congregation unanimously approved the motion brought forward by the Call Committee that two men from our Trinity family apply for the LCMS Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) Program. Brad Burns and Chuck Boeneke will begin the application process immediately and, God willing, will begin the program in January 2026. Congratulations to Brad and Chuck, and thank you to everyone who attended the meeting. May God bless both of these men and our congregation as we move forward in this endeavor to best meet the needs of our growing Trinity flock.


The background leading us to this decision was posted in the meeting notification. To view that notice, click here. Minutes for this meeting will be posted on the Resources page of our website when completed.

From the Trinity Trustees

New Stove in Administrative Building

The Trustees replaced the stove with one that has more options and can heat up a griddle. Please use caution, as the new one heats up faster and puts out more heat.


4 Wooden Picnic Tables for the Taking

They are located on the concrete slab at the East end of the parking lot by the trash dumpster.

New this year! We have created a VBS Volunteer Headquarters page. It will have all of the ways our Trinity members can support VBS. It will be updated regularly as we work to prepare for One Week, One Journey.


This page is not intended to be shared with the public, it is for the use of our Trinity family. We will have a different page for the community to sign up to attend VBS in April.
