Valley City, North Dakota

100 Years of Trinity Lutheran Church
The first German services were held in different homes and schools in and near Valley City from 1882 to 1884. Trinity Lutheran became a permanent organization in 1888. The first regular congregation meeting established the constitution and by-laws (in German) at this time. Property for the present church building location and former parsonage was purchased for $1,100.00 in 1892. The congregation dedicated its own building which cost $1,010.00 in 1897. This served as the Trinity Church home for 33 years. The cornerstone was laid for the new church on May 25, 1930, and dedicated November 9, 1930. Total construction and furnishings amounted to about $20,000.00. The new education unit, with 17 Sunday School rooms and a church office was built and dedicated November 6, 1960. On May 21, 1978, the congregation voted to remodel the west side of the church, improving the entrance, building a new chancel, and increasing the seating capacity. In June of 1988 Trinity celebrates its 100th anniversary.
