About Trinity Lutheran Church
Trinity, founded in 1751, is a vibrant, liturgical congregation in the downtown of Pennsylvania’s fourth-largest city. Our landmark building, built in the last decade of the eighteenth century, pulses with music, worship, learning, and service. Our professional staff of eight (five full-time, including two ministers) works alongside our Vestry and committees to ensure excellence in all we do.
A regional congregation, our members travel from across the county to worship, learn, and serve with us. We are proudly Lutheran, and all that we do is centered on Christ’s call to us in Baptism and His presence in the Eucharist. Through our music-making, we offer a sacrifice of thanks and praise to God while also drawing closer to one another as siblings in Christ.
Our worship services, concerts, and other programming are produced in broadcast quality and can be seen on cable television in our region as well as on YouTube and Facebook. We have proudly been a Reconciling in Christ congregation for over two decades, making us one of the pioneering Lutheran churches in Pennsylvania to warmly embrace the LGBTQ+ community as valued and integral members of our Christian family.
