Trinity Lutheran Church, 12345 Cotton Mill Dr, Woodbridge, VA 22192, US

Concordia was established in 1960. Its primary mission was to serve the military community at Quantico. Since that time the mission has expanded to include government and private sector residents in Prince William County and the surrounding area. Over the years Concordia has sponsored the development of missions in Woodbridge, the Fredericksburg area, and Stafford. We see ourselves as a caring congregation. We offer small group ministry, caring elders and one-on-one and family counseling with Pastor Knill, who has a doctorate in this field. We offer a variety of traditional and non-traditional worship experiences. In addition to Sunday morning services we offer the following special services: Advent Midweek, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, Lenten Midweek, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunrise ( 7 a.m. ) and Thanksgiving Eve. We are community oriented. We offer a food ministry on a weekly basis. We host a Girl Scout Troop and a Cadet Troop. We offer the facilities in our "Ark" ( a modular building that formerly served as a mission church in Richmond ) for AA meetings Fridays and Saturdays at 8 P.M. We provide worship space for two other congregations. Pastor Knill has served Concordia since 1964. He was born in Seymour, Indiana, and baptized at the Lutheran church in the small farming community of Sauers, where his grandfather was pastor. He attended the Lutheran elementary school in Seymour and the Lutheran high school in Ft. Wayne. Near the end of his first semester at Amherst College, in Massachusetts, he responded to a strong urge to study for the ministry and enrolled that fall at Concordia college in Bronxville, NY. He received a B.A. from Concordia Sr. College in Ft. Wayne and a Master of Divinity degree from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, in 1964. He served his vicarage ( internship ) year at Trinity Lutheran Church in Orlando, Florida. He was ordained by his grandfather and installed as pastor at Concordia, August 2, 1964. In 1995 he received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, with an emphasis in counseling and small group ministry. The Minister of Music is Bill Hadden.
