Children’s Ministry

The Trinity Nursery is divided into two rooms: the infant room and toddler room. The infant room is for babies 6 weeks through 18 months of age. The toddler room is for children 18 months through 3 years old. Childcare with purpose, the nursery incorporates age appropriate Bible lessons using The Rhyme Bible Storybook for Toddlers, Children’s Catechism, and Simply the Gospel sensory bins. Nursery is offered during Sunday morning worship, during the Sunday School hour, and for other select programming. Check in times for nursery are 9:20 – 9:40 am (Sunday morning worship) and 10:50 – 11:05 am (Sunday School).

The heart of Children’s Ministry, Sunday School provides a Biblical education for children ages 3 (by July 31 of the current school year and potty trained) through 5th grade. The Gospel Project, a Christ-centered, chronological curriculum, is used. It incorporates traditional teaching, activities, and crafts, along with digital resources to reinforce the lessons. Sunday School also focuses on memory work, including memory verses, books of the Bible, the Lord’s Prayer, and Apostles’ Creed. Sunday School meets following Sunday morning worship for one hour during the school year. Check in for Sunday School occurs after snack and fellowship time from 10:55 am – 11:05 am.

Children’s Church is offered for children ages 3 (by July 31 and potty trained) through 1st grade. Children are dismissed during the offertory for lessons of their own using the Dwell curriculum and return to the sanctuary for the final song and benediction. It seeks to assist parents in transitioning and preparing young children for participation in the Sunday morning worship service. Children’s Church meets the first four Sundays of the month. In months with a fifth Sunday, we have family worship. Children are dismissed from Sunday morning worship during the offertory song as noted in the bulletin and will return for the final song and benediction.

Children ages 3 (by July 31 of the current school year and potty trained) through 5th grade are given the opportunity to grow friendships and community while further being equipped and discipled in their faith through sharing a meal with one another, lessons from Character By God’s Design, active games, and children’s choir. Rooted in Scripture, Character By God’s Design engages kids to grow to be like Jesus. Children’s Choir seeks to teach our children about the importance of worship, give them excitement to participate in it, and grow their relationship both with the Lord and with other children in our church. Kingdom Kids meets the second and fourth Sundays of the month from 4:30 – 6:30 pm over the course of 14 weeks in the Fall and Spring semesters. Children will eat dinner with their “kingdom” from 4:30 – 5 pm, and then will rotate through games, lessons, and children’s choir until 6:30 pm. Both check in and check out will be in the narthex.
