Exploring Trinity Lutheran Church with Pastor Timothy Mech | Conversations for Christ

In this episode, Pastor Timothy Mech of Trinity Lutheran Church, Sheboygan, WI, joins host Thomas Kelly to share the rich history, mission, and ministry of one of the region’s oldest and most active LCMS congregations.

Together they discuss Trinity’s commitment to worship, education, and community outreach—all rooted firmly in the Word of God. Pastor Mech reflects on the church’s founding in 1853, its Christ-centered school, and how liturgy, hymns, and pastoral care shape the life of the congregation today.

He also addresses how the church engages the modern world with grace and truth, offering “chancel culture” instead of cancel culture, where forgiveness and repentance lead the way.
