Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church is committed to a Christian education program for all ages that fosters the strengthening of faith in Christ and deepens knowledge of Christian doctrine and ethics.
Instruction is founded on the solid rock of Holy Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions. The assumption of the program is that the Bible is truly the inspired Word of God that is not to be pre-empted by modern philosophies or trends. The Confessions, collected in the Book of Concord of 1580, faithfully reflect the Church's public interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.
In accordance with their ordination vows, the pastors regard faithful teaching to be at the core of their pastoral leadership. This commitment of pastors and people is to be reflected in the Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Bible studies, theological studies, and Confirmation program of the congregation. We pray that Christ, the Word made flesh, would keep us faithful. We praise the Holy and Blessed Trinity, One God in Three Persons, who has created, redeemed, and sanctified us. May our faith in Him be strengthened and our understanding increased.

Meeting in Fellowship Hall - RearIn the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “‘you have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and l will show you my faith by what I do.” James 2:17-18
James was not a believer until after the resurrection but became the head of the Jerusalem church and is mentioned first as a pillar of the church.
James emphasizes that good actions will naturally flow from those who are filled with the Spirit and questions whether someone may or may not have a saving faith if the fruits of the Spirit cannot be seen.
You are invited to join Mark Daria in an exploration of the Book of James in Fellowship Hall between services beginning Sunday, September 18th,
