Beneath the Denver sun stands Trinity Lutheran Church, a beacon of faith. Trinity Lutheran Church started as a joint effort in March 1956. The District Mission Board worked with members of St. John Lutheran Church.
Trinity Lutheran Church began with a plan. The plan was to create a neighborhood church. To realize this vision, 2.79 acres were purchased. The land was located between Raleigh and Tennyson on Yale Street in Denver. Back then, the area was known as “rabbit hill”. Many babies were born there.
The first building of Trinity Lutheran Church was unique. It was constructed as a house without interior walls. This design had a practical purpose. If the church plant failed, the house could be sold easily. Fortunately, the Lord blessed Trinity Lutheran Church. The congregation grew quickly. In 1958, the first church building was dedicated. The house was finished inside and became a parsonage.
By the early 1960s, Trinity Lutheran Church needed more space. The present church was dedicated in 1964. The nave can seat approximately 400 people. It has been remodeled several times. The old church became the parish hall. In 1995, a major addition was completed. It was an administrative building.
