Christian education was a prime necessity with the founding fathers in rearing and
training their children. The first pastors taught school whenever possible. Since 1908,
over 50 teachers have served Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran Church and School.

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.
