About the Pastor
Get to know more about what makes us different.
Hi, I’m Pastor Jeff Gramza, and I’m so glad you’re here. At Trinity Lutheran Church, we believe everyone needs a place to breathe, to belong, and to be reminded of God’s endless grace. Whether you’re a lifelong Lutheran, returning to church, or simply curious, you are welcome here.
Trinity is a warm, thoughtful, and generous congregation — a community rooted in Jesus, shaped by hope, and eager to listen for where God is calling us next. We value authentic faith, honest questions, meaningful worship, and the joy of being a church where all people — children included — are invited to grow in Christ’s love.

As your pastor, it’s my honor to walk with you in whatever season of life you’re in. My heart is for grace-filled preaching, compassionate presence, and creating a church where every person knows they matter.
Thank you for being part of this moment with us. Welcome to Trinity. We’re truly glad you’re here.

Holy Communion
Typically there are 2 lines coming forward. First, you will be offered the host, the Body of Christ (a small wafer of bread). You will hear the words: "This is the Body of Christ given for you." (You may respond: Amen)
Then the Blood of Christ (red wine or white grape juice). A basket is available for your empty cups. You will hear the words: "This is the Blood of Christ shed for you." (You may respond: Amen)

At Trinity, the table of Holy Communion is not ours — it belongs to Christ.
And because it is Christ’s table, all are welcome.
Whether you are a lifelong Lutheran, visiting from another tradition, returning to church after time away, or exploring faith for the first time, we invite you to come with open hands and open hearts.
Here, God meets us not because we are perfect, but because God is gracious.
We receive the bread and wine as gifts of forgiveness and new life.
Children and Communion
Children are always welcome at the table.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to decide when their children are ready to receive communion. For families who would like it, we offer special instruction and conversation to help children learn about the sacrament in a way that is joyful, age-appropriate, and rooted in grace.
Children who are not yet communing are invited to come forward for a blessing.
