Who we are
Trinity Lutheran Church in Arden is a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States, with about 4 million members in nearly 10,000 congregations across the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
We are church
We are what God has made us – people whom God has created by grace to live in union with Jesus Christ and has prepared to live faithful, fruitful lives by the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:8-10). In Jesus Christ, God has reconciled us to God and to each other. As we gather around word and sacraments, this life in Christ is what defines, shapes and guides us as a community of faith, the church.
By God’s grace we can and do live confidently and generously in this community of faith and in service of others, amid the mysteries and paradoxes of this life in Christ – including our human limitations and failings, and the ambiguities, uncertainties and suffering that we experience.
We are Lutheran
We are a church that walks by faith, trusting God’s promise in the gospel and knowing that we exist by and for the proclamation of this gospel word. We proclaim Jesus Christ crucified and raised from the dead for the life of the world. As the apostle Paul wrote (Romans 1:16-17), and we echo in our Constitution (2.02), we are not ashamed of this gospel ministry because it is God’s power for saving all people who trust the God who makes these promises. “We are to fear and love God, so, that we do not despise preaching or
God’s word, but instead keep that word holy and gladly hear it and learn it” (Small Catechism). God’s word, specifically God’s promise in Jesus Christ, creates this liberated, confident and generous faith. God gives the Holy Spirit who uses gospel proclamation – in preaching and sacraments, in forgiveness and in healing conversations – to create and sustain this faith. As a Lutheran church, we give central place to this gospel message in our ministry.
We understand to be Lutheran is to be ecumenical – committed to the oneness to which God calls the world in the saving gift of Jesus Christ, recognizing the brokenness of the church in history and the call of God to heal this disunity.

Trinity Lutheran Church History
Prior to 1886 several attempts were made to organize a congregation through the devoted efforts of Mr. George W. Lewis, a native of Virginia. Upon moving into the Arden community, he noted the absence of a church, and took upon himself the task of meeting that need. On Sundays in 1880, he began to gather the people around him and “exerted” all to higher, holier living by the grace of God. Eager to have the Gospel message brought to the people he offered his home as a place of worship. His home was dedicated as a place of worship in the spring of 1880 by Rev. Robert C. Holland, D.D., pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Martinsburg from 1881-1888. Rev. Holland at every opportunity preached to the people, officiated at funerals, and administered the sacraments.
Mr. Lewis moved back into Virginia but returned to Arden after the death of his wife, only to find services unattended and the work of the Lord fallen into decay. He immediately devoted his time and efforts to encourage all to renew their discipleship and follow the Lord; he received a worthy response from the people. A house farther up the side of the mountain was used as a place of worship. A short time later Mr. Lewis moved to Ohio and the worshipping community, again , lapsed into a state of indifference. Upon his second return, he devoted the remainder of his life to God, and placed his labors upon the task of organizing a congregation in 1886. To this day we knowledge him to be the founder and leading spirit back of the organization of the Trinity.
