Trinity Elementary circa 1867

Historic Trinity has been blessed by a rich heritage of Lutheran school education spanning almost 190 years.  Even though our elementary school doors closed almost ten years ago – Historic Trinity continues to value the importance of a Lutheran education for our children and the importance of encouraging people to enter church work.

To that end Historic Trinity has created the “Trinity Educational Endowment Fund” (managed by The LCMS Foundation) to help fund scholarships.  Currently scholarships are available to members attending a LCMS elementary, middle, & high schools and post-secondary scholarships for those seeking to become rostered church workers.
