Children’s Ministries

Jesus Loves the Little Children!

As families navigate an increasingly complex world, teaching children about God can feel challenging. The Bible gives us guidance, but applying its teachings amid modern pressures isn't always easy. With mental health concerns on the rise and children facing challenges earlier than ever, Trinity is committed to creating a vibrant, inclusive, and nurturing children's ministry where every child can experience Christ's love, build a strong foundation of faith, and know they belong. Bring your children, invite other families, and join us as we help young disciples grow in faith and follow Jesus throughout their lives.

The children’s ministries of Trinity Church offer a variety of programs to celebrate faith and fun with our youngest friends. Have ideas? Our Children’s Ministry Coordinator, Gavin, would love to hear from you!

Just SOME of our Ministries & Programs:

  • Sunday School

    September — May

    On most Sundays during the school year, kids in PreK-6th grade are invited to leave the 9:30am worship service following Children’s Time to have safe, fun, and engaging Sunday School classes. We offer a few classrooms to provide kids opportunities for learning and fun at their age level. Students can be picked up from their classrooms downstairs following the worship service. Friends are always welcome!

  • Nursery Care

    A staffed nursery is available just down the hall from the sanctuary on Sunday mornings during the 9:30am worship service. This beautiful, newly refreshed space was created just for our young families in mind!
