A small group of families started meeting for prayer and bible study in 1902. God placed on their hearts the mission of reaching out to Delray Beach through the establishment of Trinity Lutheran Church in 1904. Trinity built the original church building in 1904. That building is the oldest existing church building in the City of Delray Beach. Trinity opened a school to invest in the lives of Delray Beach’s children by providing Christian education in 1948. The original church building was moved from its original site in downtown Delray Beach to our present location in 1965. What started out in 1904 as a small group of families worshiping God has grown to an 8 acre campus where hundreds of families daily continue to worship Jesus through our church and school.
