The Trinity Lutheran Church, Palmer is part of the Mid Murray Parish (with St Martin's, Mannum; St John's, Cambrai; Pilgrims of Zion, Sedan; St John's, Forster and Zion Evangelical, Milendella) in the SA-NT District of the Lutheran Church of Australia. The church began in the late 1860s with meetings held in private homes, and the first primitive church structure built in 1870, and also used as a school. The present church building was opened in 1872, and at time of opening was known as Christ Church Lutheran Church (Christus Kirche), becoming Palmer Lutheran Church in May 1967 when it merged with St Paul's Lutheran Church (which was built in the district about 1873). The bell tower was added in 1927/8. In 2022 the churches of Palmer, Milendella and Summerfield joined to form the Trinity Lutheran Church, Palmer, with worship still conducted using the three church buildinngs.
