About Us

We are the called, gathered and enlightened people of God.  We seek to express our faith by gathering to worship and grow in our faith through the study of God's word and sharing in the sacraments.  We respond to Christ's love by serving in our community and the whole world.

The statement of the mission of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Bryan, Ohio is - Guided by the Holy Spirit, Trinity Shows & Tells God's Love in Word & Deed with ALL!

Our History

We trace our roots back to 1864.  Trinity Lutheran has been in existence since 1947 when St. Paul Lutheran of Bryan and Immanuel Lutheran of Ney merged to form a new congregation.  Our first building on Center Street (now our Parish Hall) was dedicated in 1949. Our present worship center was dedicated in 1969.
