Meet Pastor Meyer

Meet Pastor Meyer thumbnail
 
Pastor Joel Meyer was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  In 2012 he accepted a call to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church after earning a PhD in systematic theology from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri.  In addition to the PhD, he also earned an MDiv from the same institution and a BA in theology from Valparaiso University.  

Pastor Meyer sees the pastor as an under-shepherd of Jesus Christ. In that role, a pastor is to feed and nourish Jesus' flock with the gospel, tend to them on God's behalf through life's joys and challenges, and lead them to work together for the building up of the body of Christ. 
Pastor Meyer is married to Stephanie, who is an integral part of the Christian education at Holy Trinity.  Together they have four children.  
Welcome to Worship
God is at work here to gather a people for himself. Whenever we come to church we're given the Gospel. The Gospel is the announcement that the man Jesus of Nazareth, who ate with sinners and forgave their sins, healed the sick, raised the dead, was crucified for our sins and raised victorious over death, is Lord and Christ - that Jesus is the son of God who rules over creation.

Everytime we come to church that message is given to us to believe, to hold fast to, and to cherish as our own. Through the proclamation of that message, through the waters of baptism, through the forgiveness of sins, and through the Lord's Supper, the announcement that Jesus is Lord becomes personal. Because he washes us, forgives us, and gives us his body and blood as the new covenant, Jesus is not only Lord over creation; he is also our Lord. God is at work, through the proclamation of the Gospel to make us his people - a people who are his treasured possession in Christ Jesus.

Bible Study Opportunities

Church Family Night

Church Family Night will adjourn for the summer and resume the third Wednesday in August, the 20th, when we'll pick back up on studying "The Catechism at Home." The catechism contains the essential Word of God that we need to have on our hearts and minds so we can live lives of faith. The adults learn how to use the catechism in daily life and how to teach it to their children. The dinner is always potluck style. We hope to see you there!

Men's Bible Study

The Men of Holy Trinity have begun a new study entitled "The Journey of Faith." When God gives us the Gospel, he doesn’t let us sit on it. He brings us into trials and gives us more than we can handle, reminds us of our sins even, so that we’ll take up the Gospel and use it for all it’s worth. Join us as we read John 14–16 with Luther so that we can do just that: take up the Gospel and use it for all it’s worth! Join us at 8:00 am on July 12th in the Church Fellowship Hall.

Women's Bible Study

The Women's Bible Study group meets the first Thursday of every month at 6:00 pm. Join the women of HTLC as they continue to dive into an inspiring book by Chad Bird: "Limping with God: Jacob and the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship." If you’ve ever felt “less than” or “not enough,” or that you’re going through life on bum hips and bad knees, this book will encourage you by teaching you about yourself and the God who is with you and for you in Jesus the Messiah. Don't worry if you don't have the book; just bring yourself and enjoy the discussion! The next meeting is scheduled for July 3rd.

Yulee/Fernandina Bible Study Group

The Yulee/Fernandina Beach Bible Study Group meets the second and fourth Thursday of every month from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Our engaging study for the summer is “The Time Between the Testaments: Preparing the Way for Christ,” a 10-session study which explores the remarkable and often overlooked period between the Old and New Testaments, the approximately 400 years during which God was silently, yet powerfully, at work. If you have not been to one of these sessions, you are missing a unique study accompanied by a gastronomical adventure! We start our study over dinner and dessert from 6:00-6:30 pm, followed by a lesson and discussion from 6:30-7:45 pm. We meet at the Amelia Walk Amenity Center located at 85287 Majestic Walk Blvd in Fernandina Beach, FL. We hope to see you there!
