We are Trinity Lower East Side

Founded in 1843, we are a vibrant, inclusive parish with a strong sense of mission and outreach.

But as diverse as we are, our life together is grounded in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, and in the rich liturgical tradition of the Lutheran church.

All Are Welcome*

We are ecumenical,  inclusive of LGBTQIA+ peoples, and concerned about ministry to the poor and hungry.


Trinity is a proud Reconciling Works member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).  We are 3.8 million Christians in 10,000 churches who believe that the good news of Jesus is the core of our faith and life.


*There is no invisible asterisk for us when we say "All are welcome." We really do mean ALL when we say it.
