Growing up with Trinity Church -- The Trinity community invites children and youth of all ages to grow in the knowledge and love of God and to learn what it means to love others as ourselves.
Children's programming includes scripture, prayers, and music and engages body, mind, and spirit. Middle schoolers meet weekly for discussion and fun, with parishioner and professional teacher Jesse Clemmer. High school students meet monthly with the Rector, Fr. Ted. Confirmation is provided according to the rhythms of ages and readiness. In the summer, we worship on the lawn for 2-3 Sundays (weather permitting). Fun activities are scattered through the year, some for children and youth only, others for the entire parish that are young person-friendly. At around age 13 youth are invited to consider joining a confirmation program. Eleventh and twelfth grade youth have the opportunity to go on a pilgrimage. Past trips have been to Iona in Scotland or Corrymeela in Northern Ireland. The 2024 and 2025 Mission Trips take place in Appalachia.

How can families get involved with the Trinity community? There are many ways for families with children to be part of the Trinity community. Beyond the educational programming for children and middle schoolers, all children and youth are invited to find their role in worship: from Youth Choir, to reading and acolyting. There are outreach events and ways to serve as well during social events, such as our Pasta Supper and Pancake Supper (both of which are fundraisers for Youth Ministries). Then there are the purely social activities, like bowling and bike-riding, and summer barbecues! Have questions? Reach out to Amy Caruso, at [email protected], or to Fr. Ted, at [email protected]
Sunday 10am ProgramsSeptember 15 through Memorial Day (approximate)
Elementary Formation - SUNDAY SCHOOL. Children in grades K-5 meets at 10am beginning September 15th. Look for signage to direct check-in. Children gather together and use 'WHIRL" a bible-based curriculum and story based on the week's worship readings (lectionary). We also integrate elements of the worship service, including The Eucharist. Children have time to reach and reflect on what they heard in the story. Often a video will emphasize the main point of the lesson. Crafts and other activities along with simple snack time and prayer conclude each week. On Youth Sundays, the lesson time will be abbreviated as children will join the service at 10:30am. We learning the Lord's Prayer along with other prayers and songs. Intergenerational activities sometimes occur with the whole parish during this time. Two teachers are with the class at all times. Lessons mirror the Sunday bible readings and include parables from the Bible. Middle School Youth-6th through 8th Grades - 9:30AM Jesse Clemmer leads discussions and games with Middle School youth each Sunday. Learn about biblical figures. Games, videos, activities and snacks are included! Also, there will be larger group activities outside of the church during the year, so regular attendance means getting to know the group you'd be a part of and staying in the know for these new opportunities. The monthly feeding ministry outreach service program is being re-imagined! A summer service mission in 2024 was very successful; come learn plans for future trips. High School Youth 9th through 12th Grades Father Ted and Mary Thompson lead gatherings for high school youth throughout the year. Outreach service program ministry is being re-imagined!
