Rooted in WELS Lutheran Identity
Trinity Lutheran Church & School identifies with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Its messages emphasize Jesus Christ, the resurrection, God's provision, forgiveness, and following Christ as a disciple, while its teaching resources place Scripture alongside family and daily-life concerns.
Pastors and Trinity Lutheran School
Pastor Martin Bentz and Pastor Daniel Slaughter serve as pastors at Trinity. The congregation also has a school under the same Trinity Lutheran Church & School identity. Trinity Lutheran School has a staff of teachers and is part of the church's educational ministry. School and church communications use the combined name, with the teachers and pastors serving within Trinity's wider ministry. This shared structure gives the school a clear place within the church and connects education with worship and congregational life.
Teaching for Adults, Families, and Children
Trinity's library collects books under headings that map directly to family and church life:
- Bible teaching, Bible study, and reference
- Marriage, family, and parenting
- Devotional and inspirational reading
- Books for children
These choices reflect a teaching ministry that ranges from biblical instruction to practical family concerns. The church also provides a survey of talents and abilities, along with application materials for Trinity's Education Assistance Fund and Endowment Fund. The Weekly Devotion, sermon collection, and book categories give congregants several ways to continue learning together.
Giving and Congregational Connection
Online giving is available through Trinity's giving service, and members can use a member directory to connect with one another. The church shares updates through its Facebook presence, which uses the combined Trinity Lutheran Church and School name and carries school news, community activities, and opportunities to support congregational life.
From its Belle Plaine location, Trinity brings together weekly worship, pastoral leadership, a church school, preaching and devotion, practical teaching resources, and ways for members and supporters to give. Trinity's ministry is built around worship, learning, school life, and community support, with the church's Lutheran identity at its center.
