Read Trinity's Congregational |
Samaria and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8
Trinity is a congregation that sees itself as a world mission station. We conduct a campus ministry to students of Drake University and other Des Moines colleges. Our congregation includes people of African, Southeast Asian, European-American and Hispanic heritage; and we conduct services each Sunday in three languages - English, Lao and Nuer. As the Lord has opened new doors to us for mission outreach, He has led us into a global view of ministry, together with a deeper awareness and appreciation of the many individuals and congregations who work with us in Christ's Mission in the United States and in all parts of the world.
As we reach out to a highly diverse urban community, we have developed a multifaceted ministry which includes a food pantry, ESL and literacy classes, a large summer education program for children and adults, and a variety of ministries directed to the needs of newly arrived immigrants. But our total ministry is shaped by the firm conviction that the deepest need of every human being is to hear the Good News that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. The open declaration of this marvelous truth is the foundation of our mission strategy.
Trinity Lutheran Church is living proof of the power of the Holy Spirit to break through all barriers of race and nationality, language and culture. We look forward to communicating with others who share our enthusiasm for this kind of ministry!
It is the will of our Lord Jesus Christ that his disciples should preach the Gospel to the whole world (Mark 16:16; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8). That Christ's mission for His Church might be carried out according to his will, He has commanded that Christians unite in worship (Hebrews 10:24-25), practice fellowship with one another, and serve the needs of all people in Christian love (Ephesians 4:7-16; Mark 10:42-44; John 13:35; Galatians 6:10). Since Christians are also to administer the Office of the Keys as His Church (John 20:21-23; Matthew 8:5-20) and to maintain decency and order (I Corinthians 14:40) in the church, therefore we, a number of Lutheran Christians have united together and joined together worshiping joyfully in Word and Sacrament in our congregation known as:
Trinity Lutheran
Church!
ÆOur Confessional
Heritage:
We accept and acknowledge all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament as the verbally inspired, inerrant Word of God, and the only divine rule of faith and life. We also accept the Three Ecumenical Symbols: the Apostles Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed, together with the Symbolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord: The Augsburg Confession, The Apology of the Augsburg Confession, The Smalcald Articles, Luther's Large Catechism, Luther's Small Catechism, and The Formula of Concord as a true and sound exposition of Christian faith taken from and in agreement with the Holy Scriptures.
The Three Articles of the Apostle's Creed.
Trinity Lutheran Church has been directed and empowered by our Lord Jesus Christ to actively proclaim the Good News of God's love and forgiveness; to the end that they come to know, love and proclaim Christ as their Savior and Lord, and joyfully conform their entire lives to the Christian life.
