On Sunday, May 22nd, 2022, the voting members of Trinity Lutheran Church APPROVED a motion to begin the building expansion plan. This will set a course for a series of events that will eventually - Lord willing - lead us to an expanded campus to serve more children for generations to come. And now, the real work begins!
In the coming weeks and months, Trinity leadership will begin work on securing a loan, will work aggressively to expand leadership gifts and pledges, and begin the detailed design process for our buildings (known as "preconstruction"). A tentative timeline has us rolling out the campaign, publicly, sometime later this summer, and wrapping up preconstruction/breaking ground later this fall.
We are so thrilled at what God is doing in our school ministry. We are also thankful to the many volunteers and leaders who have helped us get this far in the process. Keep a close eye on your email and future publications as the fine details of this plan are rolled out in the coming months. We will keep everyone in our community updated each step of the way.
May God continue to bless the work of Trinity Lutheran Church, School, and Childcare!
