Trinity Lutheran Congregation

Trinity Lutheran Congregation is a community of faith
that has worshiped and actively engaged in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood since 1868. A Reconciling in Christ congregation, Trinity cofounded Augsburg College and Fairview University Hospital and codeveloped an innovative, mixed-income 85-unit urban housing complex. Our current mission is to help break down the walls of racism, sexuality, ethnic origin, economic status and religion.

A Church Without Walls
In 1966 Trinity lost its building to Interstate 94 construction. The mission-minded congregation voted to use its resources in active outreach to the Cedar-Riverside community rather than investing in a new church building. The lack of conventional church walls frees us to tear down walls that can separate us from effective service to God and each other.
