Welcome to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church

Welcome to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church (HTLC). We are a mission site for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on the west side of Massillon, Ohio. We come together to give thanks and praise to God for all that God does. Use this website to learn more about our community and if you have any questions, either email or call us.

Thanks for taking time to look at the ways God is working through Holy Trinity.

Office Hours: Monday-Thursday 8am-noon

Happy Easter! Alleluia! Jesus is Risen!

While we are sad not to be able to worship in-person this Holy Week we are thankful to be able to share in the special services of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday! You can find our Holy Week Services on our YouTube channel or you can join us on Facebook.

Thank you to all of the church members and staff who made these services so special!

Ways to Worship with Us

COVID-19 Precautions

During this Pandemic we are grateful to be able to offer three different ways to worship with us:
- Sunday 9:15am Livestream - Every Sunday we offer a Worship Livestream at 9:15am on Facebook (search for Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Massillon, Ohio). In this service we share prayer requests through the comments and we share communion through the Livestream. You can pick up individual containers of bread and juice at church for this purpose.
- Sunday 9:15am In-Person - Whenever our County COVID Level is Orange or Yellow, church members are able to worship with us in-person at 9:15am in the sanctuary. In order to attend, you must make a reservation by contacting the church office. This is a full worship service with communion and is about 70 minutes long.
- Sunday 11:30am In-Person - Starting Sunday, April 11th we will offer a Simple Service of the Sacraments at 11:30am in our Community Center. This service is roughly 40 minutes long and you do not have to make a reservation to attend. We will share this service when our County COVID Level is Red, Orange, or Yellow.

We are taking many precautions to keep our community safe during this Pandemic:
- Masks are required at all church activities.
- Physical Distancing - Our worship spaces are set up so that members are seated at least 6ft apart from one another.
- We use the Ohio County COVID system to determine when it is safe to hold in-person activities. County Levels are updated on Thursday afternoons. You can access the county map here: https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/public-health-advisory-system
- Contact Tracing - we take attendance at all in-person activities so we can notify people if we have a confirmed COVID-19 case in the congregation.
- Sanitation - We are limiting the use of each of our spaces to once a week so that the virus dies naturally before we use the space again.
- Vaccines - While vaccines reduce your probability of contracting COVID-19 and the severity of symptoms, they do not eliminate all risk. Even if you are vaccinated you can still contract COVID-19 and give it to others. Church members who have been vaccinated still need to wear masks and practice physical distancing.

Faith Formation at Home

This Pandemic has made it difficult for us to gather together in-person for Faith Formation activities but that does not mean we can't form our faith at home! We are pleased to offer a few different methods of at home Faith Formation:
- Church Kits - Our Church Kits contain a variety of activities like crafts for kids, weekly reflections, and a family movie night! These monthly kits are free and can be picked up at church during office hours.
