About Trinity
Grounded in the love of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Trinity Lutheran Church in Waupaca, Wis., is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the East Central Synod of Wisconsin. Click here to find out more about our synod and denomination. As noted in our vision statement, we welcome all people in Jesus’ name.
God has blessed us with a vibrant congregation of more than 1,300 active members who worship in person and online each Sunday at 9 a.m. and, from September through April, in person each Wednesday at 6:15 p.m. All are welcome to receive Christ’s body and blood in holy communion during worship on the first and third Sundays of each month and each Wednesday evening prior.
Our building is accessible with an elevator just inside our drive-up main entrance off the parking lot at the south of Trinity’s block. Formed in 1943 with the merger of Holy Ghost Lutheran Church (established 1871) and Our Savior’s Lutheran Church (established 1877), Trinity dedicated our building in 1951, and several expansions followed, including the current sanctuary and office wing in 2012. The building is home to many community programs and events as well as Trinity’s own ministries.
At our Welcome Center in the gathering space just outside our sanctuary, you will find warm smiles from people who would love to get to know you and talk with you about what we have to offer. Notably, Trinity has thriving activities for children and youth as well as strong traditions of worship and music. Altogether, Trinity members lead and participate in more than 60 ministries.
If you have questions, please contact us here, at trinity@tlcwaupaca.org, or at 715-258-7688. Office hours are 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday.
