Lutheran Church Partners in Trenton

A brief look at the three Lutheran churches in Trenton that will be the primary focus of LIT. The 10 LIT participants will be learning about and serving the community in partnership primarily with theses three congregations. Activities and service will range from Vacation Bible School programming and leadership, visiting nearby social outreach programs in Trenton, and various beautification projects. 

Elect Saints Lutheran Church

Rev. Agnes B Gbardoe

“We are committed to lifting and building people up to their fullest capacity through acts of compassion. Our ultimate goal is providing services and fellowships to humanity in the integrity of the Holy Bible. Our vision is to form a church that edifies the individual with compassion, building him/her up with the truth of the Bible, networking with other churches and organizations, honestly declaring salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, the United States and internationally.”

St. Bartholomew Lutheran Church

Rev. Aaron Richter

“At St. Bart we are blessed to have members who care about fellow members and the surrounding community and strive to fulfill Jesus' instructions in Matthew. We also have the words of our Mission Statement to guide us in these endeavors. We care by welcoming visitors, refugee assistance, crafts for the needy,  Bible study groups, youth ministry and other activities.”

Lutheran Church of the Redeemer 

Raymond Kolison, Pastor

“Lutheran Church of the Redeemer has a long history in Trenton, and celebrated its 150th Anniversary in 1999. Abiding Presence Lutheran Church in Ewing NJ, a daughter church, was established as an ‘outreach to the suburbs’ in 1961. Located downtown on Broad Street near the Capitol Complex, Redeemer is gathering Liberians in an increasing vibrant African national ministry.”

These three pastors, along with the support of other Lutheran pastors in the Mercer County cluster, will form  a leadership team that will guide our LIT participants in their seven week journey of discovery  - just what God is "up to" in and around Trenton? 

Once the program begins on July 1, each participant will be blogging about his or her experiences during the course of LIT. So stay tuned!!
