At Trinity International Church of Strasbourg, we welcome you to join us for worship at any time. We recognize that it can be a bit intimidating coming into a church service for the very first time; To make it easier, this page gives you some idea of what to expect at Trinity.



Before Service

To begin with, you need to know where we are. Here's a convenient map with directions.

When you enter the church building, one of our greeters will welcome you. You may hear a mix of languages being spoken; however, our services are in the English language with simultaneous translation available via headsets. (English to French or German)  If you would like this, please just mention it to one of the greeters as you enter.  

You may sit anywhere, no seats are reserved. If you arrive early please feel free to help yourself to a cup of coffee.  Should you need the "facilities", restrooms are located through the door on the right-hand side at the bottom of the staircase.

We encourage people to bring a Bible if they have one. If not, Bibles in English, French and German are provided prior to the message for your convenience.

What should you wear? At Trinity you will be comfortable in anything from jeans to suits, dresses to shorts. Dress as you feel comfortable, we're just glad to have you join us!

During Service

Our service begins with our worship team leading us through a time of singing a mix of contemporary worship songs and traditional hymns.  You may also observe people clapping their hands, raising their hands and sometimes kneeling. These are Biblical expressions of worship to God. We don't expect you to know the songs, so the words are projected in the front of the church. If you don't know the tune, just listen and join in when you are ready. You are welcome to stand, or if you prefer, to remain seated during this time.

 After the music, we will mention a few announcements, This is also when we take up the offering. It you are a visitor, you are not expected to put money in the offering. You are our guest. Those who consider Trinity their home church contribute to the effort of the church.

At this time Pastor Henry Paasonen will share an encouraging message from the Bible. 

One Sunday a month we'll share in the celebration of the Lord's Supper.  If you're a follower of Jesus you're invited to join in, or you can sit back and enjoy the music. If you are unsure of the meaning of the Lord's Supper, feel free to ask the pastor, or the person who greeted you at the door and we will gladly explain it to you.

What about my Children?
Children remain with their parents during our time of singing. After the singing they are invited to participate in children's church which will include a Bible lesson, craft or supervised play. This is located upstairs and the children follow the teacher out of the service to the classroom. Parents are welcome to bring their child upstairs and remain as long as needed to to ensure that your child feels comfortable.  

After Service

Following worship everyone is invited for refreshments. Pastor Henry is available to meet with anyone who would like to follow-up on the sermon. This is a good time to ask questions and go over the basics of the Christian faith.

One time a month we share in a 'pot luck' meal together following the service.

We hope you'll stop by for a visit and, if you do, please come up and say "hello" to the pastor. We'd love to meet you. It is our desire that one way or another you may find a meaningful and transforming connection with God. And perhaps you may even find a spiritual home that works well for you!
