In order to put Christ first, we WELCOME people into the church, inviting them to receive the love and grace of Jesus so they may know themselves as children of God.
We NURTURE people in faith to support their learning and growth as followers of Jesus. We send people out to SERVE people in emotional, spiritual, and physical need in the congregation, the community, and the world. |

Our History in Canton |
Trinity has been sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in Canton since 1890, when we were first organized as Bethlehem Swedish Lutheran Church. The name was changed in 1926 from Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church to Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, and we moved into our current building in 1927. We continue to serve God and our neighbors in Canton from here on 3rd and Chestnut!
