Children are always welcome in Sunday worship. If parents prefer, young children can go to childcare just before worship begins or at any time during worship. Several of our kids want their families to come to church so that can go to the Trinity Nursery. Then as they get older, they go to our Sunday morning kids' classes.

A happy child in the nursery 

Kids in their Sunday class
Trinity Nursery

Babies and toddlers are well cared for at Trinity's nursery, and they have a good time too! Sue Goodwin, the volunteer nursery coordinator, and her team have assembled a great room full of toys, and coloring supplies. Snacks are available. When it's busy, there are always more volunteers ready to come on in. 

Parents who aren't completely comfortable leaving their children in the nursery yet can stay and observe if they like or they can worship in the Trinity Cafe, which is right outside the nursery. That way, if there's any need for them, the caretakers can find them right away. It really cuts down on anxiety. 

Pre-School Class

When children get a little older – ages 3 and 4 – they can join our brand new preschool Sunday school class! They’ll join worship for the Children’s Message and then they’ll go into Sunday school as the older kids do. Kids in worship also get to play instruments with the praise music!

Sunday School

We offer kids' classes (sometimes known as "Sunday School") during worship for those kids who want to go. Children stay in worship until after the Kids' Message and then leave for their class with their teacher. We offer one class for kids in Kindergarten through 2nd grade and another one for 3rd to 6th graders.

Older Kids

Middle schoolers and high schoolers stay in worship the whole time. The middle-school class meets between services (about 10:15 - 11:00).  Please see the calendar.

Of course, parents are always welcome to keep their children with them in worship. Trinity has always welcomed children, and we can handle a little bit of noise. Jesus did too!

Come and see us next Sunday!
