About our PastorPastor Myron Mader, who was trained at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri to become a missionary to the upper islands of Japan, was instead assigned to Ocala, Florida and installed as pastor of St. John Lutheran Church on July 28, 1957. During his ministry at St. John for 31 years, membership grew from 28 to a few less than 1000. While at St. John, Pastor Mader started St. John Lutheran School and high school, First Lutheran Church of Inverness, Peace Lutheran Church in Dunnellon, and Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Ocala and served as Florida Georgia District archivist, circuit counselor, and district stewardship chairman, and secretary of the archivist committee of the Lutheran Church –Missouri Synod. After his wife Carol was taken by the Lord, St. John terminated his call, and four families from St. John started Trinity Lutheran Church and became a member of the English District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, which recently presented him with a certificate of 55 years of service in ministry in Ocala.

| Trinity Lutheran Church exists for worship and to glorify God through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, with the preaching of the Gospel, the administration of the sacraments, and by carrying out our Lord's great commission to make disciples of all nations, by baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We are also very much concerned about those who are not yet a part of the body of Jesus Christ in the World and encourage the members of our church family to witness daily to the Gospel of Christ in the words and actions of their life to promote unity of faith and to foster Christian fellowship.We believe the Bible is God's Word, revealing to us the good news of Jesus' life, death and resurrection for us. Living joyfully as members of God's community, we seek to serve Him by sharing His love, growing in knowledge and faith, showing this faith in our daily lives, and by caring for others in His name. The Social Ministry Committee of Trinity Lutheran Church is very active through Lutheran World Relief, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, and various community agencies - Community with a Heart, Salvation Army, Rape Crisis Center, Interfaith, Arnett House and others, and routinely contributes thousands of dollars annually to community and global programs.
