Description

Church History:
Trinity was organized in 1881 when a predominant movement of immigrants came to Iowa from northern Germany, settling in the area surrounding Manning. Lutherans in Lincoln Township began conducting services in a school house.
They constructed and dedicated their first church in 1884. The church was quickly outgrown and rebuilt in 1901. It served the congregation until 1913 when the church and its contents were destroyed by a tornado in March 1913.
The faithful congregation immediately reconstructed their church to minimize any disruption of their worship. The church was built in six months and dedicated in October 1913. The structure stands today on the same location and reflects, generally, the same design as the church which was destroyed.
