Trinity Lutheran Church of Manhattan

About Us

Trinity Lutheran Church of Manhattan is a welcoming, vibrant and diverse congregation of the ELCA. We are young and old, from many different backgrounds and speak a variety of native tongues. We have worship services in English and Spanish every week and occasionally in German. We represent our ever-changing community on the Upper West Side. We rejoice in the wide, unexpectedness of God’s love for us and for others. We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, and support the full participation of our LGBTQ members in the life of the church locally and world-wide. Our mission statement says that we are a community “called to share broken bread and the Gospel with our neighbors.”
