Trinity Lutheran Church Roselle

What Trinity Lutheran Church Roselle does

Trinity Lutheran Church Roselle (legal name: Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church) is a non-profit religious organization founded in 1910 in Roselle, Illinois, and affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. The church operates a multi-generational ministry ecosystem centered on three weekly worship services (Saturday 5pm Traditional, Sunday 8:30am Traditional, Sunday 11am Contemporary), a PreK-8th grade Lutheran day school established in 1899, and a DCFS-licensed daycare center serving children 6 weeks to 4 years. It serves approximately 300 congregation and school families, supported by 22 staff and a network of lay volunteers, with additional programmatic offerings including youth ministry, tutoring, Life Groups, Bible studies, music ensembles, and a Vision 2031 strategic growth initiative in partnership with FiveTwo Ministries.

The organization's technology stack is built on commodity third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Realm (by BlackRock) for member directory, online giving, and group communications; Dacast for livestreaming infrastructure; YouTube and Facebook for sermon distribution; VBS Pro for Vacation Bible School registration; and Microsoft SharePoint and Forms for internal document and request workflows. Its digital channels — website, livestream, phone-in audio, text-to-give (text 'TLC' to 73256), and social media — extend reach beyond the single Roselle campus to remote and online attendees, who represent roughly 30% of surveyed congregation engagement.

The revenue model is diversified across recurring and event-based streams: tithes and offerings (subscription-style recurring gifts), PreK-8 school tuition (annual), daycare tuition (weekly, $222-$480 with multi-child and staff discounts), altar flower donations ($50-$100 per event), and a one-time $15 tutoring registration fee. Customer acquisition relies primarily on personal invitation, word-of-mouth, and community events (Vacation Bible School, Mission Fest, Rose Parade participation), with marketing channels limited to organic social, email, and the website — reflecting a community-led, event-driven go-to-market motion rather than paid acquisition.
