WELCOME!

A voice for justice in the world and in the city…for good!

Trinity Lutheran Church, a historic congregation, serving Christ in the neighborhood, the community and the world.

Founded in 1751, Trinity is the city of Reading's first house of worship which to this day celebrates a traditional Lutheran liturgy and weekly communion, accented by excellent music, within a historically significant setting. The church, originally built in 1791, was renovated in 2001.

The majestic steeple, towering some 203 feet in the air, serves as a familiar landmark to the people of the city. It also serves as a beacon of inspiration for those to join our mission in being a voice in the city... a voice for good. Perhaps that will include you!

Early Worship (an intimate setting in the Founders’ Chapel) is at 8:30 a.m. Sunday mornings. The Choral Eucharist Service is at 10:55 a.m. in the Nave. Deaf Worship is at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel.

The Choral Eucharist is broadcast live to the Reading Hospital and Medical
Center
, and is shown locally on Cable Channel 21 at 7:00 p.m. Sundays and
4:00 p.m. Wednesdays.

For an update on current news and upcoming events at Trinity,we invite you to visit our Groups & Events. Additionally, we invite you not only to worship with us this Sunday but also to active membership in this historic congregation.

In person, through television, or on-line, we welcome YOU to become part
of Trinity’s mission.


From the Pulpit

"Strange God we've got, huh? Strange rabbi/teacher/Lord as well! He says that emptying makes us full, that we need to lose ourselves to find ourselves, that in giving we receive, and that dying gives us life most abundant. It doesn't make sense. I'm the first to admit it." read more >
