Trinity Lutheran School is a Christian School.

Our primary goal is to share the truth of the Gospels and help children and their families grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Our school provides a safe nurturing atmosphere where children can hear God’s Word daily and learn about His love and blessings. It is a place where Christian teachers help children define and implement a Christian lifestyle and Christian values. It is a place of caring and love that extends longer than the school day and beyond the classroom walls. 

Trinity is a Michigan Lutheran School of Excellence and also accredited by the Michigan Lutheran School Association, the Michigan Association of Non-Public Schools Accrediting Association, the Michigan District and the National Lutheran School Association. This means that our school and staff met high standards and are actively engaged in school improvement.

 

Trinity Lutheran School is a school where children also learn the following:

  • Right from wrong
  • Common courtesy and respect for others
  • Each individual is a unique creation of God with certain talents and abilities

Trinity Lutheran School is also a place where students, faculty, and parents make mistakes. Conflicts arise and behavior may, at times, not be in line with our purpose and Christian values. Therefore, our school is also a school of forgiveness, where we try to learn from our mistakes and seek out ways to help each other. 

I am happy to meet with you to discuss any questions or concerns, or to provide further information on our curriculum, classroom experience, extracurricular activities, athletic offerings and more. 

In His Service,
Mark Brown
