About our Preschool
In the Spring of 2011, Trinity Lutheran Church formed a committee to look into the feasibility of starting a Lutheran Preschool. For many years, St. John's Lutheran Church in Secor had operated a Preschool and many of Trinity's members had attended. With St. John's Lutheran Preschool no longer available, Trinity looked into carrying on this mission in El Paso.
The members of the original feasiblity committee were Joan Comincioli, Kathy Faulk, Lisa Hocker, Kathy Johnson, Donna Parkhouse, Amber VanHoveln, and Pastor Boehne.
In August of 2011, the feasibility
report was presented to the Voters of Trinity Lutheran Church.
A resolution was then passed to form Trinity Lutheran Preschool.
