Trinity Lutheran Church and School - Tinley Park, IL

Our church teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.

We believe that in the Lord's Supper, Christ's body and blood are present in the bread and wine, and are effective for the forgiveness of sins and strengthening of faith, in accordance with 1 Corinthians 11:29.

Being "Lutheran," our congregations accept and teach Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases:

Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
