Children
Child-Friendly Worship
Children are a gift from God, and they are an integral part of the worshiping community of Trinity. Because of this, we try to facilitate ways for families to bring their young children to worship. We encourage children, youth, and their families to be active participants.
Trinity has activity bags, and books available for children to use during worship services. Children are often invited to join the pastor for a Children’s Message before the pastor’s sermon. We also welcome children and their families to serve as greeters, ushers, and scripture readers.
Nursery care is available on Sunday mornings (September-May) from 8:10-10:45 a.m. for children age three and under. A paid nursery care provider, along with volunteers, provide a safe, nurturing, and grace-filled experience for our youngest children.

Early Childhood Enrichment Programs for 2024-2025 School Year
Trinity offers faith-based enrichment programs for children 18 months-3 years old.
Music and Movement: Children will move and groove as they explore music with a song, dance, and instruments. This is a parent/child class. Free play and discovery as well as some teacher-led, structured activities with parents and children are included. Music & Movement is for children who are 18 months-36 months at the start of the session.
Come and Play: This is a great precursor to preschool! Children are provided a warm and safe Christian environment to play with other children. Stories, art, and music activities are included, along with a daily snack. Children may register for one day or two days per week. This is a drop-off class for children; toilet training is not required. Come and Play is for children who are two years old by 9.1.2024.
Open Gym: A winter drop-in opportunity for parents and their young children to come in and use our equipment in a large safe space. The area is supervised by a staff member, and a story time is offered during the last half hour.
