About US
Established in 1884, Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church has been serving the people of West Chicago and the surrounding communities through the proclamation of God’s Word, worship and humble service for nearly 140 years. Located in the heart of West Chicago, we are a welcoming and friendly congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Every Sunday, we gather to receive the gifts He freely offers. Gifts of forgiveness, life and salvation. We offer Sunday School for young children and youth programs for teens. Fellowship time and adult Sunday morning Bible study follow the Divine Service. You can contact Trinity's Pastor with any questions at pastor@trinitywc.org.
