Welcome! This Week is Advent 1: Hope

We cannot live without hope.
Jesus is our hope.

Hope is an essential characteristic of the faith. Followers of Christ live in hope for today and for the future. Our confidence comes from the Lord who came to us in the form of a helpless infant. God set aside his power and divinity and joined humanity in our fragile flesh. Our hope is in Emmanuel: God with us. 

Meditate on these texts this week: 

Monday: Romans 8:18-25 —In hope we were saved. 

Tuesday: Romans 15:12-13 — He who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope. 

Wednesday: 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10— remembering . . . your steadfastness in hope. 

Thursday: Romans 5:2-5 — . . .we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 

Friday: 1 Peter 1:3 — . . .he has caused us to be born again to a living hope. 

Saturday: Titus 2:11-14— waiting for our blessed hope . . .

Welcome to the website of Trinity Lutheran Church, Monroeville, Ohio.
We are a parish of the North American Lutheran Church.

Our Mission: We are a called and forgiven community of God’s people sent into the world to share Christ’s love.

Our Core Values:
* Jesus is Lord!
* Forgiveness is a gift
* Every person is a child of God.
* God desires that all people would come to know Him.
* A life of Worship is a sign of God’s love for the world.

Our History
Trinity Lutheran Church was established in March 28, 1920 (Palm Sunday) when some of the members of St. Peter Lutheran Church on Sandhill Road wanted a church “in town.” At the time the two parishes were served by the same Pastor; that practice continued for many years.

In 1920 and still today, this congregation abides by a common confession:
“We the members of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church believe and confess that the Bible (ie. the Canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments) is the revealed Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the only infallible authority, source, rule and guide in all matters of faith and practice. To this Word we humbly submit ourselves in all things.”

“I am the Vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15)

This is such a beautiful image of what it means for followers of Christ to be connected to Jesus, the very source of life. No branch in a vineyard will grow and flourish if it’s detached from the main vine. It’s simply not possible.

Family Faith Formation is a key part of our discipleship journey. This resource by Sola Publishing exists to help you and your family learn more about Jesus and what it means to follow him. At the Baptismal font, we promised God that we would raise our children in the faith. Schedules are tight, lives are busy, and that’s a reality we have to accept. But this resource is available 24/7! Check it out and go deeper with Christ!
