BUILDING FAITH THROUGH FAMILIES
At Trinity, we strive to work with families side-by-side as we build faith in children from birth to adulthood.
This new program—Building Faith Through Family—is designed to give you, caregivers of children, the tools you need to build spirituality into your child’s everyday life. We look forward to you joining us on this journey!
Trinity’s Programs for Children and Youth:
Worship
Children and youth are not only welcomed in worship, they’re expected to be there! The rhythms and patterns of weekly worship establish important traditions in children of all ages.
Sunday School
Teaches foundational Bible stories in a three-year cycle. Includes storytelling, crafts, and activities.
BOLD Youth Programming
Brings Biblical concepts to the issues our children and youth face everyday. Includes hands-on storytelling, object lessons, games, activities, service opportunities and more.
Music Ministries
Expresses the teachings of Jesus through voices and instruments.
Milestones Program
Celebrates our children and their accomplishments of faith-building as they grow in Christ.
This new program offers elective choices that allow you to pick and choose the topics that fit your family. All classes will be held during the 9:45 am Sunday school hour. The location of most sessions will occur on the second floor of the education wing in the small group meeting space.
