TRINITY CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

It is our mission to support parents and caregivers in developing the foundation of faith in our children, share God's love, be examples of God's love, and strengthen our children's relationship with Jesus.


Every Sunday throughout the school year, kids PreK - 5th grade are offered the opportunity to learn about God's story in their very own worship and Bible study time. Kids begin in worship with you and following communion they will be dismissed to Sunday school; they will remain in their designated classrooms until a parent or guardian picks them up after the service.


If you are a first time visitor, stop by the  check-in desk and we would be happy to give you more information.  

We look forward to partnering with you to grow our kids for Christ!

  • Trinity Kids Curriculum

    All ages follow the same scope and sequence, including the same Bible story, Bible Memory Verse, and Bible Memory Buddy, so siblings learn and share together!


    Made for today’s busy families, each Simply Loved Unit features a single Bible Point, so kids who miss a week or two still get great Bible learning. And kids who come every week go even deeper!


    Simply Loved Take-It-Home Flyers and Coloring Creation pages take the fun and excitement of that week’s lesson and bring it home. Created to provide intentional, practical, and easy ways for kids and the rest of the family to discuss that week’s Bible Point and apply it to their lives.  Plus, kids receive a super-cool Bible Memory Buddy sticker to wear, keep, or collect.

  • Trinity Kids Summer Challenge

    The summer is filled with all sorts of fun activities and it should be filled with Jesus too! These challenges were created to help you, as the faith leaders in your homes, to keep your kids in God’s word while Trinity Kids is on summer break. Each grade level has their own unique challenge and once completed the kids will be recognized for their achievements. Click here for all the details.

growing in faith

Each week across all grade levels, our kids focus on these four areas:


Connection with each other and with God's word


Studying God's word together


Interacting with God's Word to find key themes and takeaways


Responding to God's Word by applying it to life  


In addition to our weekly lessons in our Sunday school classes, we want to help you grow your child’s faith by incorporating and celebrating some important faith steps. These steps will be a part of the foundation that grows with your children as they continue to mature in their faith.

  • Infants/Toddler

    A baby is a precious gift from God and we want to celebrate with you! After your child is baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church we will continue to celebrate their growth and spiritual milestones with you through our “Enduring Faith Beginnings” program. We recognize how precious these first years are and we want to help you share the love of Jesus with your child from birth through the first three years of their life.

  • Preschool

    Children who are 3 years old* by September 1st of the school year are welcomed into our “Trinity Kids” Sunday school program. They will have the opportunity to learn about God’s story in their very own worship and Bible time.

    *Must be bathroom independent.

  • Kindergarten

    Children will be gifted a Beginners Bible to begin their faith development and introduce them to the Bible basics. They are reminded that the Holy Bible is the100% pure and true word of our awesome God!

          

    John 3:16 is widely known as one of the most famous Bible verses. Children will learn and memorize this important Bible verse that tells us of the perfect love God has for us and the gift that was given to us by Jesus Christ.

  • First Grade

    When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, Jesus gave them the Lord’s Prayer. This prayer is a blueprint for how to talk to God and how to teach our children to talk to God. They will learn the Lord’s Prayer and then be able to recite it along with the congregation before communion every Sunday.

  • Second Grade

    Learning the Ten Commandments will show your child how God wants them, and everyone, to live their lives. The Ten Commandments are a guide on how to treat God and how to treat other people. It is important that our children understand the rules God has for us, but also that He does not expect us to be perfect. In fact, the only person to ever follow the Ten Commandments perfectly was Jesus, and because of Him we have been forgiven of our sins…past, present and future.

  • Third Grade

    Third graders are gifted an Adventure Bible to continue their faith development as we encourage them to be readers of God’s word!

           

    God says the Bible is like a sword. Just like a sword takes practice to use, we need to practice using God’s Word. One of the ways your child can do that is by knowing what God has included in the Bible and where they can find it. Your child will begin their Bible journey with learning the books of the New Testament.

  • Fourth Grade

    Children will continue their Bible journey through learning the books of the Old Testament.

  • Fifth Grade

    Fifth graders are invited to attend our First Communion workshop followed by receiving their first communion at a special Seder Meal.

     

    As Lutherans one of the ways we profess our faith is through the Apostles Creed. Fifth graders will learn the Apostle’s Creed and understand that through this statement they are communicating their beliefs about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
