Capital Appeal
2026 Capital Appeal - Honor Our Past, Plan Our Future
Honor Our Past, Plan Our Future is an appeal for your financial support to fund capital improvements
that will benefit Trinity for decades to come. Phase 1 began in 2020, with Phase 2 set to begin in 2026.
Who we are. Trinity Lutheran Church is built on a rich history of outstanding work, exceptional service, and profound faith in God. Our members live a life of gratitude and generosity for all that God has done for us in Jesus Christ. We consider this church our home, we feel a kinship with one another, and we love our sisters and brothers in the local community, the nation, and around the world.
Where we’re going. We now come to a crossroads as we look ahead to fulfill our mission as a 21st-century
church. To ensure that Trinity’s legacy passes from one generation to the next, we must plan thoughtfully
for the future while proactively building on the past. The ability to inspire, teach, and reach our Central Pennsylvania community and beyond depends on how effectively we prepare for the future.
How we’ve identified projects. Trinity has an active Property Team, Capital Appeal Team, Council, and
Staff who have identified key updates that are needed at both Camp Hill and Dillsburg. All projects align with Trinity’s mission. Then, in the fall of 2025, our congregation members shared their opinions through an online survey to better identify our church’s needs.
Next steps. Over the coming weeks and months, we will engage with the congregation to better explain the vision and to seek consensus on a pathway forward. For goals and proposals that the congregation agrees to and accepts, we hope to accomplish them through a generous response to a capital appeal; we expect the appeal to begin in fall 2026.
As of April 2026, we expect any approved projects to be under $1 million dollars.

Your Personal Commitment:
Determining your gift is a sacred and prayerful journey. As you reflect on your commitment, consider how Trinity has shaped your faith and deepened your relationship with God. Then consider how your generosity might help others experience that same grace and transformation. What is God calling you to give, above and beyond your regular support, so that Trinity’s ministry can continue to grow and bless future generations?
Thank you!
We give heartfelt thanks to our members for their faithful generosity in continually supporting Trinity and its ministries. Your consistent giving reflects a deep commitment to God’s work in this place and makes possible the worship, outreach, care, and fellowship that shape our congregation. We will celebrate all commitments to the Capital Appeal on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
