The administrative board of Trinity Lutheran Church is known as the “congregation council.”  The congregation council consists of no more than twelve members of the congregation who are elected to terms of three years.  The pastor also serves as an ex officio member of the congregation council  with both voice and vote.  Elected members of the congregation council may serve a maximum of two successive terms.  Elections normally occur in May of each year.  Due to lower membership levels the council currently has ten members.

Currently the congregation council consists of:

Terry Bockelkamp (2019)

Dolores Smith (May 2017)

Robert Klien (May 2017)

Katherine (“Kitchie”) Strauch (May 2017)

Hayden Evans (May 2019)

Nelson Stauffer (May 2017)

Lori Jordan (2019)

Todd Rehder (2019)

Christopher Mathews (2019)
