Life's sacred moments

With you in every season of life.

From the waters of baptism to the promise of resurrection, Trinity's pastors delight in walking with you and your family through life's most important moments.

“You are my child, the Beloved.”

Holy Baptism

A new identity in Christ

Baptism is the great Sacrament of initiation, adoption, cleansing, liberation, and sharing in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It shapes our whole life in Christ.

  1. Call the office at 507-934-4786 to speak with Pastor and check your preferred date. If another baptism is planned that day, we'll kindly check with both families.
  2. Meet with the pastor for about an hour to walk through the baptismal liturgy, so you feel understanding and comfort with the Sacrament and our practices.
  3. Celebrate in worship. Baptisms normally happen during worship with the whole congregation. Exceptions can be made at church, home or hospital.

Adults seeking baptism receive instruction in the basics of the Christian faith first. Please reach out to the pastor.

“Love is patient; love is kind.”

Weddings

Begin your marriage in a place of grace

Our sanctuary, with its stained glass and pipe organ, is a beautiful place to make your promises before God and the people you love.

To begin, complete our wedding request & information form and return it to the church office. We'll be in touch about dates, premarital conversation with the pastor, music and more.

“I am the resurrection and the life.”

Funerals & memorials

Comfort in Easter hope

If your family has experienced a death, please contact the church office at 507-934-4786 right away, so pastoral care and planning can begin. We make every attempt to accommodate a grieving family.

Planning ahead
Preplanning can be a tremendous gift to your family and helps ensure your wishes are fulfilled. One of Trinity's pastors would be glad to work with you on a plan.
Scripture
Readings at funerals and memorial services reflect our hope and promise in the resurrection of Christ Jesus. The pastor will help you choose and offer suggestions.
Music
Music should reflect personal preferences and celebrate Easter hope and the consolation that is ours in Christ. We encourage congregational singing and will help with hymn selections.
