At Trinity, we believe children are not just the future of the Church; they are the Church today.

Our ministry nurtures children and families to live out their faith in the world, shining the light of Christ in homes, schools, neighborhoods, and beyond. Whether you’re a lifelong Episcopalian, new to church, or exploring faith for the first time, you’ll find a place of welcome here.

At Trinity, children's ministry is:

  • Intentional–every lesson, ritual, space, and resource is designed with purpose—spiritually and developmentally.
  • Formational–the goal is long-term discipleship rooted in scripture, tradition, and practice—not just faith education, but spiritual formation.
  • Relational–faith grows in the context of love—between children, parents, volunteers, and God.
  • Liturgical–ministry is grounded in the Episcopal tradition, the liturgical year, and the lived rhythm of the Church.
  • Empowering–children and parents are equipped, not just entertained (there will be play!)—given tools to grow, lead, and follow Christ beyond Sunday and childhood.

 

Children's ministry includes the programs listed below, and also extends to the work being done in our music program and at the Trinity Learning Center.

Liturgy Preparation

Liturgy Prep prepares children to participate fully in worship. During the 9:00 a.m. service (10:00 a.m. in the summer), children ages 3 through 2nd grade are invited to a special worship space where they hear the Gospel, wonder together, and connect the stories of scripture to their daily lives. The children will be called forward at the appointed time in the service to attend liturgy prep.

Children's Formation

Each Sunday during the program year (September–May), children gather at 10:15 a.m. for age-based classes rooted in scripture, Episcopal tradition, and hands-on learning. Guided by our Ages & Stages Faith Framework, formation helps children discover God’s love in ways that are developmentally meaningful, creative, and engaging.

Stop by one of our welcome stations and we will help you find your way to the Sunday school classroom for your children.

Nursery

Our nursery is available every Sunday and for many parish events, staffed by trained caregivers who provide a safe, loving environment for our youngest children. Even here, faith begins with simple prayers, songs, and the gentle care that communicates God’s love.

Wednesday Night Suppers

Families gather on Wednesday evenings to share a meal and connect across generations. Children eat free; $10 for adult plates. These dinners often include short lessons about holidays and observances during the church year. In other weeks, the children gather to serve in their own guild to help prepare for Sunday morning formation.
