Faith Formation

Children | Youth | Youth Group | Confirm not Conform | Adult Forums

Christian education is for everyone, no matter whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or have been walking Christ's way for many years. You are invited to God's house to worship and to participate in programs and ministry founded in scripture and reflecting God's power in our lives.

At Trinity you will find many examples of youth and adults working to uphold the vows made in our baptismal covenant.

Children

Godly Play

Preschool To Fifth Grade

The Godly Play curriculum is offered each Sunday during the academic school year, during the 10:00 AM service, for preschool children and school age children up to fifth grade. This creative Montessori-based curriculum engages children's curiosity and wonder while teaching them the stories of the faith.

Youth

Classes for our middle school-aged youth focus on contemporary issues, and help young people apply the teachings of Christianity to their lives.

First Informed Holy Communion

Our Middle School Youth work for eight months—from September to May-- on their First Informed Holy Communion journey exploring the different parts of worship service. Each member of the class chooses to decorate either an altar cloth or a chalice representing a meaningful or spiritual landmark in their lives.  The youth wonder about parts of the text, they take copies of the Nicene Creed home, and practice traditional prayers. At the conclusion there is a celebration at the 10 o’clock service with everyone present and the students receive gifts from our teachers representing lifelong spiritual reminders of peace, God’s love, and community.  

Confirm Not Conform

This marvelous confirmation program gives young people an opportunity to discover what they believe and how Christ is active in their lives.  This eight-month program has produced powerful bonds and thoughtful pilgrims on a spiritual journey.

Adult Forums

Once a month, between the Sunday services at 9:00 AM, adult members of the congregation or speakers from outside, bring interesting and important topics for learning and discussion.

Bible Classes

The Rector teaches an eight-week Introduction to the Bible, periodically.

Advent and Lenten Series

Seasonal topics, discussed over simple suppers, offer up food for the journey.
