Trinity Lutheran Church has established an online method for our congregation members and other community benefactors to provide gifts or offerings to the church and its various ministries. It also affords you a way to support our mission during the suspension of regular worship services due to the stay-at-home guidance.
More InformationWe have started worshiping again at our normal worship times with new protocols. Please call to make a reservation (815-963-4446). The wearing of facemasks is asked of everyone and remember to social distance. You can still find us on Sunday mornings (or whenever you feel like worshiping) on our website, Facebook and YouTube.
