Brief History of Church ELCA, Cody, Wyoming

Our Church was started in 1949. In July 1999, Trinity celebrated it's 50th Anniversary. That same summer, the congregation broke ground to start the construction of a new church building at 3401 Sheridan Avenue. The congregation moved into the new building October 1999. We then sold the old church building to another Cody Christian congregation.

On October 1st, 2000, we held our open-house, inviting our neighbors. We held a community service at which we dedicated our new building to service and mission in the name of Jesus Christ in Cody. We serve about 300 Trinity Lutheran Church (TLC) members directly; and we are here to serve our neighbors living in - or visiting - Cody.

Brief History of the Lutheran Faith

Trinity's historic mission as a Christian Church in Cody is to provide worship, prayers, witness, and service to our community, our nation and the world at large through our affiliation with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The Lutheran Church, when faithful to its historical roots and Confessions, is a Biblically conservative Church made up of joyful and committed Christians serving their crucified and risen Lord. Anyone searching for a Church that truly teaches the Bible need look no further.

Lutherans believe the Gospel, which means "good news", directed struggling sinners to Jesus Christ alone. The Gospel joyfully declared that Jesus Christ has already paid for all our sins by His death on the cross. Lutherans believe God gives full forgiveness of sins and heaven is a gift to those who believe in Jesus and who put their trust in Him alone as Savior,.
