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.
