Trinity Lutheran School

Trinity Lutheran School has been an integral part of the ministry of Trinity Lutheran Church for many years.
TLS is committed to a distinctly Christian education that provides an environment emphasizing the teaching and appreciation of God's Word as it applies to students' studies and to their character. We are a supplement to the Christian home.
TLS intentionally offers affordable tuition for families who might not ever have the opportunity to attend a Christian school. Trinity Lutheran Church believes in raising up disciples of Christ so much, the church supports this school ministry and pays up to approximately half of student tuition.
