We embrace young people as full and valuable members of our community. Age-appropriate learning opportunities are available for children pre-K through grade 12.
We are delighted to welcome children and youth to our programs at any time. You do not need to be a member of the church, start at the beginning of the school year, or be able to attend every single week to be involved.
Godly Play for PreK-K
Sundays, 9-9:50 am
Making meaning through story, wonder, and play. Nurturing spiritual lives by honoring the centrality, competency, and capacity of children (Godly Play Foundation). You can expect your child to experience ritual and routine, interactive stories, self-directed play and exploration, and, of course, snack time.
Trinity Village for Grades 1 through 5
Sundays, 9-9:50 am
Trinity Village begins with a few minutes of community singing before transitioning (a) to education suite classrooms in small groups or (b) to a pre-defined location for large group/intergenerational learning. Small group learning weeks will follow the Mini Revolutions curriculum. Examples of intergenerational activities include making care packages for our college students, sharing faith stories and learning about traditions in the Lutheran faith, and decorating cookies to celebrate the holiday season!
Confirmation for Grades 6 through 9
Sundays, 9-9:50 am
At Holy Trinity, we focus our confirmation classes on helping students and their families grapple with life’s questions and challenges in the context of Christian faith. Confirmation includes worship participation and leadership, classes, retreats, summer camps, service, and community-building activities. Students will engage in conversation each week about why they may or may not choose to be confirmed while learning about the Lutheran faith tradition and its particularities. There is also a Confirmation trip each summer where students have the opportunity to put their faith in action.
High School Programs
We offer activities throughout the school year and summer for high school students, including service projects, discussions, retreats, summer trips, and community-building. Build meaningful relationships with some of our youngest members in Godly Play and Trinity Village and help Sunday mornings run smoothly. Earn service/volunteer hours for school while you’re at it!
What’s On Wednesdays
On Wednesdays during the school year, we connect through food and music. Volunteers—supported by staff—will serve a community meal in the lunchroom from 5:00-6:00pm starting September 16. After dinner, the gym will be open from 6:30 to 8:00pm, with adult supervision provided. The weekly meal and gym time are open to all and have become a beloved part of our shared life together. You’re invited to come enjoy good food, connect with others, and simply be part of the community. Consider enrolling your kiddo(s) or yourself for a music ensemble. It takes all of us to make beautiful music together! Learn more about our music programs here.
