Monday, November 2, 2020 FALL 2020 get involved Trinity Lutheran Church welcomes you Trinity Lutheran Church is a Christian Church lo- cated at 501 Mark Avenue in Moosomin. The church was built in 1962 and has been serving Moosomin and area since that time. Trinity Lutheran Church is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church- Canada. The basis of all Lutheran teachings is the Bible. Martin Luther and the other reformers wrote a series of documents an- swering accusations that their teaching was con- trary to commonly held beliefs and practices of the 15th century church. These defenses and arguments, based upon the Bible, were presented before a series of theological gath- erings. Eventually, they were compiled into “The Book of Concord.” These comprise the doctrine and confession of the Lutheran Church.
