Trinity Lutheran Church 1839-
1805 South Eighth Street
St. Louis, Missouri 63104

Trinity Lutheran Church is the first German Lutheran church in St. Louis and actually the oldest Lutheran congregation west of the Mississippi River. It was originally built at Third and Lombard Street in 1842 and then moved to the southeast corner of Lafayette and Eighth Streets in 1865. Trinity was the "mother church" to Holy Cross, Immanuel and Zion Lutheran Churches.

"Organized in 1839 by a group of Germans seeking religious freedom which was unobtainable in their homeland in Saxony." -History of St. Louis Neighborhoods: Soulard, p. 11
