The mission of Trinity's Christian Education program is to fulfill the baptismal covenant we make with the children of our church to do all in our power to support them in their life in Christ. As a congregation, we aim to spiritually form our children and youth in mind, soul and being.
- The foundation for this ministry begins with our youngest parishioners. In the Nursery we have created a safe and loving space for these little ones surrounding them with gentle hands and caring words.
- We continue nurturing our children and youth by forming them in mind. Through formal Sunday School and Children's Chapel we ground them in Scripture and teach them that they are fashioned by a loving God, in God's image.
- We nurture the soul by providing opportunities for prayerful reflection (such as special family worship services) and involving them in liturgy as acolytes, readers, instrumentalists and choirsters. We help them grow in being by providing hands-on experiences, which reveal God's grace and presence in the world (through social gatherings and service-learning projects). To this end, we also desire to be supportive of parent and caregivers in their work to create spiritual homes for their families.
We hope you will join us!

The Trinity Nursery is available for children from infancy through four years old. It is open Sunday mornings from 8:30 a.m. through the end of the 11:15 a.m. service (about 12:45 p.m.) The nursery is also used during evening meetings and church functions so that parents with young children may, more easily, participate in the full life and ministry of the church.

Children's Chapel is more than an excuse to leave the "big" (and sometimes "boring") church. It is more than a rest for parents who need a break from squirmy children. It is an opportunity to experience God in another, sacred way. It is the chance for children to be children and to come to Christ, as they are, worshiping in a space that has been set apart for them.

Song and Spirit is Trinity's Sunday morning music time for children and youth. About fifteen minutes in duration, Song and Spirit precedes Sunday School. Its focus is to allow our young people to experience and learn songs that many adults will remember singing when they were children.

Sunday School is an integral part to our children's faith formation. It lays a strong foundation to a person's education as a Christian, an education which is a life-long process.
The current structure of children's Sunday School includes four classes: Primary (Pre-K, K), Elementary (Grades 1-3) and Intermediate (Grades 4-6) and Youth (Grades 7-12.) Classes meet during the academic year on Sunday mornings after the 9 a.m. service and run concurrently with the Adult Forum (10:20-11:10 a.m.)
