Trinity Ev. Lutheran Congregation is located in Cole Camp, Missouri, a small rural community of approximately 1050 people. The year 1891 marked the beginning of Trinity’s existence when Immanuel Lutheran Congregation, a small church southeast of Cole Camp, established a preaching mission in the town of Cole Camp. During its first years the Reverend J. C. Viets served as pastor for his own congregation, Immanuel, and as part time pastor at Trinity in Cole Camp. On February 19, 1896, the congregation in Cole Camp adopted a constitution and a name, and the organization of Trinity Ev. Lutheran Congregation took place. The congregation began with a few faithful families, and it has now grown to a membership of more than 600 members. The congregation built its first church (a brick structure) in 1911 on a lot located at what is now known as 104 E. Butterfield Trail, located in downtown Cole Camp. After 90 years of faithful service, the old church was replaced with a new house of worship that was constructed over a 19 month period, and dedicated to the Glory of the Triune God on June 30, 2002. The new church was built approximately 20 feet west of the site of the old church. The 1911 structure was subsequently razed in the fall of 2002. Over the years the church has also supported a Christian Day School. In 1911, when the new brick church building was completed, the old frame church was converted to a day school. The present Lutheran School, is operated as a joint venture with two other congregations in the area, St. John’s, a rural church north of Cole Camp, and Holy Cross, a rural congregation northeast of Cole Camp. Many organizations have been established by Trinity over the years, and information about the present organizations and auxiliaries can be obtained by clicking on the Organizations link.
