What to Expect at Grace & Trinity
Walking through the doors of a church you’ve never attended can be intimidating. We hope to take a few of those concerns away by addressing them right here.
Why would I want to attend a church service?That's a good question. We proclaim in worship the world's most important message:
  1. There is a God to whom we are accountable for our flawed lives.
  2. But Jesus has taken away our sins and provided for us His righteousness.
  3. Without regular hearing of that message and growing in faith, we put our faith life at risk. Faith is a living thing and we need to feed our faith a regular diet of God's Holy Word.
What kind of church are you?We’re a Christian church, part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. But more important than our affiliation is our set of beliefs – you can find those here.
What should I wear?What's important to us is not what you wear, but that you are there. Our members do wish to honor their Savior by looking presentable and you will see some of them dressing up.
What happens during a worship service?You'll receive a service folder as you walk into our sanctuary. This has all of the information you'll need to follow along with the service. We'll sing traditional and modern hymns - whatever best proclaims Jesus according to the Bible. Many of our services are liturgical in style, meaning we follow the same outline each week, but the content changes based on the scripture and topics we're studying. The service will be about an hour long, with a 15-20 minute sermon. The message is always rooted in the truth of the Bible and always centers on the good news of salvation in Jesus. You will find that it will always apply to your life today.
What is the style of worship at our parish?We strive for reverent and relevant worship at Grace & Trinity. You will find our services accessible for you, whether you are brand new or have been worshipping with us for years. Our services are liturgical, meaning they usually follow a similar pattern each week, including:
  • The Invocation - We call on the name of our Savior God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - as we praise him.
  • Admitting sins and Hearing Forgiveness - We acknowledge that we have not always done what God commands. Then we are assured of forgiveness because of what Jesus Christ has done for us.
  • Bible Readings - We hear selections from God's Old Testament prophets, Jesus' apostles, and Jesus himself in the Gospels. The pastor also gives a brief explanation of each reading.
  • Sermon - Our pastor offers instruction and encouragement in a Bible-based sermon. We hear how we can expect God's guidance and grace in our life's journey. The central message will always be our forgiveness of sins and promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
  • Response to the Word - We respond with offerings, hymns, and prayers of thanks for the things God has promised to us and for the strength to do what he has asked.
  • Parting blessing - We hear one last assurance of God's care.
Can I talk to someone first?Yes! We understand that visiting a new church can be hard. From new faces to unfamiliar traditions, the experience can be overwhelming. We'd love to connect with you and learn more about you and you can learn about us.
Do you celebrate communion?Yes, as a celebration of closeness in our doctrinal unity, we celebrate and practice "close communion" at our churches on the first and third Sunday of each month. This means we invite the members of this congregation and those in doctrinal fellowship with our beliefs (WELS or ELS Christians) to commune with us. Christians joined together by a common confession of faith—and demonstrating that common confession of faith by their church membership—express their unity through the reception of the Lord’s Supper. (1 Corinthians 10:16-17 & 1 Corinthians 11:23-29) If you are not currently a member and would like to learn more about communing with us, we encourage you to connect with us or speak with our pastor to learn more. We look forward to the day when we commune together!
What about my kids? Will they attend worship with me?We absolutely love having children in our worship services! Your kids are always welcome, and we try to make our services engaging and special for the kids, too. We believe that worshipping together, as a family, is important for both children and parents. We also will provide your children opportunities to learn more about God's Word in Sunday School.
