Welcome to Trinity English Lutheran Church
We are a welcoming church community in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne where people gather to worship, grow in faith, and care for one another. Whether you’ve been part of a church for years or are just starting to explore faith, there is a place for you here.
We believe that God loves every person, period. People of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, genders, and identities are welcome here. We follow Jesus by living out that love in our community through serving others, sharing meals, and supporting one another.
