Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church

About this church

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church has served Topeka's Historic Old Town neighborhood for more than a century. The congregation gathers as one church family at 10:30 a.m. Sunday for a traditional Lutheran Service of Word and Table. Scripture readings, preaching, prayer, hymns, an extended Passing of the Peace, and Communion shape the service. The church practices an open table for Christians, while anyone who does not wish to receive Communion may ask the pastor for a blessing.

Families are expected in the sanctuary: children receive a short sermon and activity materials, and a staffed nursery in Trinity Hall is available when needed. A sofa area just outside the sanctuary gives parents another option without fully leaving worship. The church is at 725 Southwest Buchanan Street on Eighth Street. Its parking lot is approached westbound on Eighth; when full, free Sunday parking is available across the street at the Lincoln Center. Trinity also partners with the Lutheran Fine Arts Council on community music and joins other ELCA congregations for summer Vacation Bible School. During Advent and Lent, Wednesday evening prayer is offered at 6:30 p.m.
