Trinity Lutheran Church of Arkdale

1650 Church Street
608-564-7920

History:

The historical roots of Trinity Lutheran Church of Arkdale go back to 1853 when the congregation was organized and established as the first Christian church in the community. In those years, waves of European immigrants, including many from Norway, were making their way to America's western frontier to homestead land and to begin a new life filled with promise and hope. Like Abraham, they traveled to a land that God would show them.

Over the past 154 years, we have been reminded of God's sustaining power and grace. We remember that Jesus our Lord has already walked the path of suffering and death for us and has risen to forever hold us in the promise of new and eternal life. As his disciples, we follow on that journey. In the waters of baptism, we have died with him that we might also be raised and reborn to new Easter life. As the years pass, Jesus continually invites us as a community of faith to become a new creation. He invites us to confidently and boldly face the future, a future into which he will lead and guide us, a future over which he reigns as our risen and living Lord.
