What to Expect

Welcome!

We’re so glad you’ve found Holy Trinity. As we say every Sunday, wherever you are on your journey of faith, you have a home in this community of faith.

We worship every Sunday at 10:00 a.m., with education for all ages at 9:00 a.m. There is no weekly education during the summer months (Memorial Day to Labor Day).

Find Us

Our church building is located near the intersection of Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue at 2730 East 31st Street in South Minneapolis.

Parking and Entrances

Holy Trinity has ample parking available. Street parking is available on the surrounding streets. The entrance to our large parking lot is at 2813 E. Lake Street, located on the south side of Lake Street between 28th and 29th Avenues. The lot is shared with Trinity Apartments, Trinity on Lake Apartments, and the public library; park in any unposted spots or those marked for church parking.

Holy Trinity’s accessible and weekday entrance is on the east side of the building (the cul-de-sac entrance) located just north of 31st St at 28th Avenue. We open the main doors that face E 31st St for worship services and other special events.

Public Transportation

If you’re using public transportation, there is a bus stop near to the sidewalk that goes south to the church, and we are just a couple of blocks east and one block south of the Blue Line Metro Station’s Lake Street/Midtown stop.

Worship

When you enter the church, follow the signs to the sanctuary. Outside the sanctuary, an usher will greet you warmly and offer you a bulletin outlining the order of service. We include songs in the worship bulletin to make it easier for guests to participate.

Holy Trinity practices open communion. This means we welcome every person to the table to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion, regardless of age or faith journey. You don’t have to be Lutheran, or even Christian, to receive communion at Holy Trinity. It’s Christ’s table, where no one is a stranger.

Find a Spot for Kids

Children (and their voices and wiggles!) are welcome in worship at Holy Trinity, and families are encouraged to worship together. We have an activity area (a.k.a., Prayground) with crayons, coloring books, and other materials for children.

Snack & Chat

After the church service, we gather for coffee and conversation in the Fellowship Hall directly opposite the sanctuary—you can’t miss it as you exit. Help yourself to treats and drinks and make yourself at home—we are eager to meet you!

Learn

During the academic year (September-May), Adult Forum and Sunday School take place between our two church services. Please join us—all are welcome.
