Trinity Lutheran School
About the School
- Trinity Lutheran School is a K-8th Grade Christian Day School supported and run by the membership of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.
- Trinity is a member congregation of the Church of the Lutheran Confession.
- Trinity Lutheran Church and Trinity Lutheran School are committed to God's command, “Preach the gospel to every creature.” Therefore, we will consider the application of nonmember children to our school.
- However, we must take into account the limits of our school's facilities and teaching staff and deny admission if we are at maximum capacity.
- Likewise, all Scriptural directives relating to the nature and function of a Christian School must be observed.
- At Trinity Lutheran School we teach your children about Jesus their Savior and about His will for their lives.
- We teach these things as they are taught in the Bible.
- As we teach your children, we pray that God's Word will take hold in their hearts and become an active force in their lives.
