Trinity Lutheran Church is a family of followers of Jesus Christ, committed to sharing the Gospel, and graciously serving all of God’s people with love and hospitality.
A Word From the Trinity Lutheran Church Office…
The Covid-19 Vaccinations are a tribute to the human spirit. Following the CDC and WA State guidelines we have adjusted our policies on a regular basis.
Everyone has been encouraged to manage their own pandemic lifestyle and to pick and choose what activities were in their comfort zone. We know that some will continue to worship online, some will continue to wear masks, and some will avoid crowds of any kind.
We respect your self-selection and we will support your journey wherever it may take you. This Sunday some will have masks off and some will have masks on, but together we will continue to be the people of God in this place; we will continue to be a force for good on Whidbey Island and in the world.
Our nursery will be open during the 10:00 service for infants and toddlers.
Our church office is open between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
Please call the office for appointments at (360) 331-5191.

No Cure for Being Human

Ukrainian Refugee Relief – A Special Message from Pastor Jim
The reality is that at this current time it is unsafe for relief efforts inside the country. This war has created a migration of refugees as families flee the violence with little more than their children and a backpack.
The President of Lutheran World Relief is Daniel Speckhard, former US Ambassador to Belarus. He is uniquely qualified to lead this effort in a region where he has unparalleled expertise.
Lutheran World Relief is focusing its efforts on the refugees caused by this terrible war. They are mobilizing to provide food, water, shelter, clothing and medical care.
New to South Whidbey? Looking for a church home?
We are a group of imperfect people who are grateful to be held in God’s grace… a family of believers seeking to grow in God’s love and to share that love through living intentional Christian lives.
We are a congregation of more than 1,200 people today. Trinity is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, but nearly half of our members come from other faith traditions. We recognize that it is God’s house and God’s table, and God who gives the invitation, and as such, we welcome all people to our church.
We pray together, sing together, talk together, laugh together, and do volunteer projects together. Having been richly blessed by the grace of Christ, we seek to be a blessing to others.
Many parents look to Trinity for a solid Christian education program for their children. We have dedicated volunteer teachers and modern facilities and are committed to help children and teens develop a faith relationship with God that will sustain them through life.
When this pandemic passes, we will resume having Bible Studies, service groups and Men’s Breakfast. For now we ask that you keep up with our services and missives online and on Facebook.
Want to know more about the Christian faith? Have questions about Trinity Lutheran Church? Please speak to one of our pastors, or call the church office. We would love to visit with you. You are also welcome in our new members classes, held three times a year.
There are opportunities for you to learn, grow and serve at Trinity Lutheran Church. What is your passion? Where are your gifts and interests? Or, perhaps you are weary and broken and just need to be ministered to and find rest in Christ. Come. You are welcome at Trinity Lutheran Church.
Our communion table is open to all people. Our hospitality is meant for all as well.
If we can answer any questions, help you on your journey of faith, minister to you in crisis, and celebrate with you life’s special occasions, please call upon our pastoral staff. We are here to serve.
For the convenience of people viewing the website on their phone, we have been asked to make our Donation button easier to find.
