What if I haven't been to church in a long time or never have been to a church?

Visitors are always welcome! Jesus came for the sick and the lonely, let God's word connect with you. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him". (John 3:16-17).

What if I am not a Lutheran?

Thats fine. For more information about the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, visit their webisite at www.lcms.org. Please feel free to contact Pastor at (734)282-5877 with any questions you may have.

What do people wear?

Wear comfortable clothes.

Am I required to become a member?

No, you may remain a visitor/friend of Trinity for as long as you wish. However, with prayer and consideration you do desire to become a member, classes are offered on a regular basis. Please click on our Membership info page for more information.

What can I expect when I visit Trinity?

You will be met at the Church doors by our Greeters, and Ushers will give you a worship folder (bulletin). The worship folder contains the "Order of Service" for the day and the weekly announcements insert.

Please stop by Trinity's Welcome Center desk, in the Church entrance area (Narthex). Sign our guest register and receive a small gift. Feel free to ask the Welcome Center Host any questions you may have about the facilities, services, Sunday School, Bible Classes, Youth activities, etc.

We are a church for all age groups, friendly, caring, and happy to have you join us in worshipping God the Father, Jesus His Son, and the Holy Spirit . Come and learn more about Jesus Christ, your Savior, and let the Holy Spirit help you grow to your full potential in Christ.

Do you point out visitors to the congregation?

No, we ask that you fill out a visitor/attendance card located in the pew card rack. We are just glad you are with us.

May I participate in Holy Communion?

We believe Holy Communion is a sacrament. It is a special gift given by Jesus Christ, on the night he was betrayed, to baptized believers (Matt. 28:19). It is not meant for everyone, nor is it to be taken just because other people are coming forward. In preparation for the Lord's Supper you need first to reflect on the following questions:

Do I believe that Jesus Christ is my Savior, and my only means of forgiveness? (1Cor. 11-28)
Am I sorry for not living the perfect life God demands, and do I promise, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to lead a God-pleasing life? (1 Thess. 4:1-2)
Do I believe that, as I receive the bread and wine, both body and blood of my Lord come to me through this sacramental miracle? (1 Cor. 11:29)

If you have trouble answering "yes" to any of these questions, we suggest you take one of the pew Bibles and review 1 Cor. 11:27-34, page 1136. If you still have not found answer(s) you seek, please talk to the Pastor or Elder on duty before coming to communion. Persons who are LC-MS or in fellowship with the LC-MS are most welcome.

Am I expected to give an offering?

God requires nothing other than your faithfulness and your soul. We believe that everything we have is a gift from God. As "managers or stewards" of these gifts, we honor God and worship Him by giving offerings. Visitors to Trinity are welcome to participate in giving as the Holy Spirit guides their heart. Guest envelopes are available in the pew card rack.

I have children, is there something for them to do?

Yes, depending upon age. We offer a variety of Bible classes and activites for children of all ages. Please check out our Youth page for more information on Sunday School, Jr. and Sr. Youth. We also offer Nursery Care during our Sunday Bible classes and the 10:00 a.m. service for ages four and under.

I need some help with personal problems, how do I go about asking for help?

Contact our church office at (734) 282-5877 to speak with Pastor or if attending services please fill out a pew card requesting a phone call from Pastor.

I would like to be married at Trinity, what should I do?

"At the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not seperate." (Mark 10:6-9)

We marry primarily members but we are open to the possibility of marrying non-members. Please contact our church office at (734)282-5877 to speak with Pastor.

I would like to schedule a baptism. What should I do?

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Matt. 28:19)

Contact the church office at (734)282-5877 to set up a visitation with Pastor.

What is there for me to do as an adult?

We offer Bible classes through out the week, TWIM (Trinity Women in Mission), Men's Club, special events, etc... Please check out our Upcoming Events, monthly Newsletter or Calendar page for all our activities.
