Welcome!

Holy Trinity Evangelical-Lutheran Church, UAC, is a caring family of believers committed to proclaiming the Gospel of Christ in its purity and truth in accord with Holy Scripture and the Confessions of the Holy Christian Church found in the Book of Concord of 1580.

We have gathered since July of 2004 in the former Capps Presbyterian Church building at the corner of Arkansas Highway 392 and Old Capps Road. We give testimony to our unity in the faith with saints of days gone by as we continue in the use of the Divine Service handed down through 2,000 years of confessing the virgin birth, perfect life, sin-atoning death, glorious resurrection, majestic ascension, and eagerly-awaited return of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this way, we are brought together here for true worship: receiving worth and worthiness from our merciful Father, who takes away our sin through the cleansing blood of Jesus, and returning praise to the Triune God for what He has done and still does for us.

Centuries ago, the Christians of Germany created a most felicitous word with which to refer to our liturgy, a word which, understood rightly, tells us what that liturgy truly is: ‘Gottesdienst’—God’s Service, the service that God Himself does for us, coming to us to bring us His grace and forgiveness through Holy Baptism, Absolution, the Preaching of the Cross, and the Holy Supper of Christ’s Body and Blood. It is the continuous activity of God that makes clear what St. Paul wrote to St. Timothy: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory” (1 Timothy 3:16). True godliness is a mystery to the non-Christian (and, sadly, to a great many Christians); it is not what we do, according to St. Paul, but what Jesus has done. By the grace of God and through our use of the historic liturgy of the Church, that is what the services at Holy Trinity Evangelical-Lutheran Church deliver.

We hope that you will stop back periodically to see our website as it develops, and that you stop in to see us if you are in the area. If you’re here on a Sunday, the Divine Service, Holy Communion, is at 10:30 AM (with Bible classes and Sunday School for all ages at 9:00 AM), or at 2:45 PM in Parlor Room 260 of Bull Shoals’ Bel’ Arco Resort (Bible Class in Bull Shoals is at 1:30). (Visitors are asked to speak to our pastor before the day of the Service if they wish to commune.) We also hold weekly prayer offices at 10:00 AM and 6:30 PM on Wednesdays all year ’round, with an additional 3:00 PM prayer in Bull Shoals during Lent and Advent. (On festivals and on the last Wednesday of each month, the Divine Service is celebrated instead. For up-to-date details, see our parish calendar .)
