T LSO Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran Church, Eagan, Minnesota 1880-2005 "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever." These words were inscribed on a document placed inside the first church built by the congregation of 'trinity Lone Oak Lutheran Church. These words remind us that things on earth change, expand, and grow- when God's people seek to glorify Him through their actions. We strive to accept responsibility to expand the preaching and teaching of God's word in all its truth and purity. Founded in 1880, our church has been a landmark in Eagan for 125 years. The first church building was dedicated in 1882 and served the members for over 20 years. The second church, plus numerous additions and upgrades have served the congregation for over one hundred years. The beautiful stained glass windows of our church remind us all of the peace found in Christ. Shortly after the founding of the church, provisions were made for the education of the member's children. We still consider teaching to be an important mission of the church. Christ said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not the Kingdom of God." Mark 10:14.
