About Trinity Lutheran Church

Trinity Lutheran Church is a welcoming, growing, and active ELCA community of faith near TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. Approximately 190 people worship with us weekly at two Sunday services and one Wednesday intergenerational gathering. We follow the ancient Lutheran worship pattern (Ordo: Gathering, Word, Meal, Sending) and celebrate weekly Eucharist, welcoming all to the Lord's table. Music is central to our worship life—we have a strong music ministry featuring an adult choir, a handbell choir, an African marimba ensemble, and occasional guest instrumentalists. We have recently completed a major building project that included both an addition and remodel. Trinity also operates a thriving Children's Center serving around 100 children (ages 6 weeks through pre-K) each day. In addition to our own ministries, we host community groups and partner with many organizations in the city to "Make Christ Known and Share God's Love and Grace."
