Holy Trinity to be a Charter Member of the North American Lutheran Church.

Holy Trinity conducted a special Congregational Meeting on June 6, 2010. At this time 188 members in attendance approved by a vote of 143 (yes) – 45 (no) to begin the process for the withdrawal from membership in the ELCA.

Church Council approved a resolution that will advise the "North American Lutheran Church" of our intention to become a charter member of the new church body.

One additional vote will be held in September 12, 2010 to finalize the move from the ELCA to the NALC.
