About Us

Who we are

Trinity Emmanuel Lutheran Church, a vibrant congregation that facilitates an engaging worship life, equip members to further grow their faith and to foster caring relationships. 

Where we come from

TELC has been shepherding disciples in Rochester since 1891. Our congregation in its current configuration formed in response to the need of our community in 1975. For over 125 years we have responded to those needs in new and exciting ways as we continue to carry out the mission and ministry of God.

Where we're headed

TELC is committed to fostering a community committed to sharing God’s word, showing God’s love, and serving God’s world. Together we are writing a new chapter in an already exciting story. There’s a place for you in this story. By ourselves we are pretty imperfect, but together form a people of hope, a people of love, and a people of grace.
