INTRODUCTION TO TRINITY LUTHERAN SCHOOL & CHILDCARE

TRINITY LUTHERAN SCHOOL, established in 1989, is a mission arm of Trinity Lutheran Church. Lutheran Christians, who had settled in and around the Norman area, organized Trinity Lutheran Church in 1901. Like most Lutheran Churches of that time, church services were conducted in the German Language and a small parochial school was operated primarily for the children of the congregation. In 1947, the present stone and wood frame church was constructed, as well as the fellowship hall and center section of the education wing. The south wing was added in 1987. Trinity remodeled and extended the center section in 2004.

Trinity Lutheran Church is a member congregation in the larger church body known as the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). The LCMS is made up of about 6,150 congregations in North America and includes almost 2.7 million baptized Christians striving together in the same Mission and Ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Member churches of the LCMS strongly support Christian education. LCMS congregations own and operate over 2,500 preschools, childcare centers, elementary schools, high schools, universities, and seminaries.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

Although the school and childcare is sponsored by and receives major financial support from Trinity Lutheran Church, enrollment is open to Lutherans and non-Lutherans. No student is denied enrollment on the basis of race, creed, national origin, or color. Prospective students are to make application for enrollment.

Lutherans believe, teach, and confess:

• Christ Jesus is Lord and Savior, Who died once for all people to take away the sin of the world. There is no other way to heaven than through Jesus. There is no other Savior.  Jesus rose from the dead to give us life.
• The Bible is God's very Word, not man's word. The Bible, Old and New Testaments, contains no errors or contradictions; the Bible is God's witness to Jesus and salvation.
• Man is saved by grace through faith, that is, without any help from man. Salvation is a gift from God to all people in Christ Jesus.
• God gives the forgiveness of sin where He promises, by the means of His grace: His Word of Christ, Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the proclamation of forgiveness.  God's Holy Spirit works through these means to give faith and peace.
• There is only one Christian Church, which will be and remain forever. This Church eagerly awaits the coming of Christ and seeks to remain faithful in the Gospel until His coming of glory.

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life." (John 14:6)
