Trinity Lutheran Church (Vancouver, Wash.)

The first services for Trinity were held in a residence under the direction of Rev. O. P. Stavaas, a retired missionary who had come from Madagascar. Later services were held in Townsend Hall, and in 1940 a home was purchased and remodeled to suit the needs of the church. The first unit was built on the present site in 1950-1951, and the present unit was completed in 1960.
