Baptism Service
Trinity baptizes Christians of all ages as the Bible has instructed us. Baptisms may occur during a Sunday worship service or at a private Sacred Rites at the request of the family.
Matthew 28:19
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

Confirmation Service
Trinity offers a two year Confirmation class, which informs young teens from the 7th Grade on about the old and new testaments. Though engaged teaching of the bible, the fun experience of going through the confirmation class will leave a life long basis for growing your faith. After the weekly confirmation class from 9:30am to 10:30 am the teens will confirm their faith in a church service with their families, friends and the loving congergation.
For more information, please contact Church Office
Wedding Service
Weddings are a cause to celebrate and Trinity is happy to open its doors to members and non-members looking for a facility for a Christian wedding service. The main floor of the sanctuary comfortably seats 180 people and the balcony seats another 20.
For more information, please contact Church Office
Funeral Service
While the loss of a loved one is difficult to deal with, we trust in Jesus’ words, as He says in John’s Gospel,
John 11:35
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”
While in Germany most memorial services occur at cemetery chapels or funeral homes, Trinity also offers the possibility of a memorial service for those who have died in the faith, seeking to provide comfort for family and friends during these difficult times.
