Kids Matter Here

At Trinity our motto is Kids Matter Here, meaning children and youth are a very high priority. We value them as members of our parish community and we are committed to nurturing, guiding, and teaching them so that they may grow up to be faithful, mature, spiritually-grounded adults in the church and the world.

Here are some of the many things our kids participate in at Trinity:

• Sunday School
• Confirmation Class
• Acolytes at our Worship Services
• Country Cupboard Booth at our Christmas Bazaar
• Helpers at our Annual Turkey Supper
• Sock Sunday and Hat & Glove Collection Outreach Ministry
• Our Annual Epiphany or Christmas Play
• Summer Camp at The Episcopal Conference Center (ECC)

Grades K-5 – Sunday School

On most Sunday mornings during the school year, our children and youth are welcomed by their Sunday school teachers and Rev. Johanna in Graham Hall (upper level of the Parish House) for an opening activity and prayer. Following the opening activity and prayer, they are dismissed to their classrooms for the lesson of the day with their individual teachers. The lessons are age-appropriate and are coordinated to align with the scripture readings of the day.

Grades 6-8

Beginning for the 2024-2025 school season, our middle schoolers will gather for programs two Sunday evenings per month from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm in Graham Hall. Our Sunday evening programs for middle schoolers will begin on Sunday, September 22nd.

More details about the program will be be provided in the weekly Trinity Tidings email newsletter as they become available. If you have questions about the program, please email our Youth Ministry coordinator or contact Rev. Johanna.

Grades 9-12 – Confirmation Class

Those in High School are encouraged to join our Confirmation class, held on Monday evenings from 7pm to 8:30pm during the school year. This class is intended for any high school students thinking about being confirmed.

We use the Confirm not Conform curriculum, which is supplemented by materials from the VTS curriculum for High Schoolers. Rev. Johanna and Mary Jane Smith facilitate the class.
