Youth
Confirmation at Trinity
Confirmation at Trinity is for students in grades 7 & 8. Students gather weekly on Wednesday evenings, where they learn in both large and small group settings, beginning the evening in the Trinity Room. The year begins with an orientation for both parents and students on Wednesday, September 20, with regular classes beginning the following week. There is a fee of $35 per student.
At Trinity, 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 5, 2024.
To register for Confirmation, please visit our registration page.
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
Youth in grades 9-12 will meet in the Youth Room each Wednesday evening from 6:45-7:45 p.m. beginning September 20, 2023. We’ll work as a team to create a plan for our time together, including Bible study, service opportunities, games, outings, and other fun stuff!
Registration is appreciated but not required. Bring a friend!
High School Trip
Trinity youth have an opportunity to embark on a trip each summer that will influence their faith lives in extraordinary ways. 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!
In 2024, Trinity youth will be travelling to New Orleans, LA to attend the ELCA Youth Gathering. The 2024 Gathering will take place July 16-20, with some optional events happening in the days before the Gathering. For more information about attending the ELCA Youth Gathering, contact Pastor Tom Westcott or Heather Day.
