Youth
Because of Christ, you are LOVED, you BELONG, and you have GIFTS TO SHARE.
Confirmation
Wednesdays | 6:45-7:45 p.m.
Confirmation at Trinity is for students in grades 7 & 8. Students gather weekly on Wednesday evenings from 6:45-7:45 p.m., as they learn in both large and small group settings, beginning the evening in the Trinity Room. Pastor Tom Westcott leads the large group instruction, while adult volunteer leaders engage each small group. There is a suggested donation of $20 per student.
The rite of Affirmation of Baptism is celebrated after completing the Confirmation program, typically in the spring of 8th grade. Affirmation of Baptism will be celebrated this year during worship on Sunday, May 4, 2025.

What is Affirmation of Baptism?
When we talk about faith, baptism is where we begin as Lutherans. We acknowledge God’s love, God’s presence, and God’s promise for our lives. In baptism, God claims us and promises to walk with us in faith. Baptism is a lifelong event, and so when we affirm our baptism, we reaffirm the promises made for us by our parents and sponsors at baptism. Youth are often baptized when they are young, but not all. If your youth has not yet been baptized, please contact Pastor Tom Westcott.
High School Youth Group
1st Wednesday of each month | 6:45-7:45 p.m.
Beginning Wednesday, October 2, Trinity will offer a monthly youth group for high school students. This group is meant to be a safe place for youth to build relationships, learn, and have fun, all while growing in their relationship with God. Youth of all races, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, economic conditions, and abilities are welcome. We love friends and new faces, so join us in the Youth Room!
No registration is needed for Youth Group, but youth should join the high school Remind group to receive reminders about meetings on their phone.
High School Trip
St. Louis, MO | June 22-28, 2025
Trinity youth have an opportunity to embark on a trip each summer that will influence their faith lives in extraordinary ways. Our trips rotate on a 3-year cycle: Service Trip, ELCA Youth Gathering, and Adventure Trip. Trips provide our youth with experiences that will deepen their faith, learn how they can develop a closer relationship with God, develop and nurture relationships with adults and peers, and realize that loving God and believing in God are fun and exciting!

Summer Stretch
Summer 2025
Summer Stretch is a ministry for middle school youth, led by high school youth! We meet for a short week in the summer and do various service projects throughout the community each morning, then participate in a (top secret) just-for-fun activity each afternoon. Our week culminates with a day together at Valley Fair. Stretch yourself!
