Our Vision For Trinity Kids
The vison for Trinity Kids is the same as our mission for our church. We are excited to walk alongside kids and their families as they seek to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and live for Jesus together.
Connection
On Sunday, Trinity Kids is a place where every child, from birth through 5th grade, can connect with God and connect with others. This is a place where kids are known, loved, and safe.
Faith Formation In The Everyday
We know faith formation doesn’t happen in one hour on Sunday morning. Sunday is one moment in a child’s faith journey. A way of life with God happens in everyday moments. It looks like what Deuteronomy 6 describes:
[5] You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. [6] And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. [7] You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. [8] You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. [9] You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5–9
Partnering With Families
Parents and guardians are the primary disciplers of their children. That’s a high calling, and none of us can do it alone. That’s why we care deeply about partnering with you. On Sundays, your child will be loved, prayed for, and taught the Scriptures. Beyond Sunday, our hope is that your family is encouraged and equipped to practice a way of life with God together at home throughout the week.
Planning a visit?
What to expect on Sundays…
Kids Ministry is available each Sunday for babies through 5th grade. We would love to welcome your family as our guests.
Before your first visit, you can pre-register your child so they can head straight to their classrooms. You may also register when you arrive. The family entrance and drop-off area are located on the south side of the building on Ida Street.
When you arrive, enter the phone number you used during registration at our check-in stations. Your child’s name will appear, and you will receive a nametag for your child and a matching security tag for you. These tags help us safely reunite children with their caregivers after the service, so please keep your tag with you.
Your kids will be welcomed into their age-specific classrooms where they will meet their teachers, play, and build friendships. Children ages 3 and older will participate in a time of worship and Bible focused teaching during Large Group. We use a chronological scope and sequence that walks kids through the Bible as one connected story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. After Large Group, kids return to thier age-specific room and gather for a Small Group time to complete a connection activity and prayer before pick up. Each kid will go home with a Take Home page.
By Monday or Tuesday , you will receive an email with a brief lesson recap and questions to help you review with your children. These conversations are powerful moments in faith form faith.

Family Resources
What a blessing it is to walk with parents and guardians as they teach their kids to love the Lord. Throughout the year we offer equiping opportunities and resources.
We encourage families to establish simple Bible reading rhythms at home and make time for intentional faith conversations.
Each Sunday kids will go home with a Take Home page that summarizes what they are learning. This is a great resouce that has simple questions to start a conversation in the everyday moments of car rides, dinner, or bedtime.
Our Policies and Procedures page outlines our commitment to safety, care, and protection for every child in Trinity Kids, and we invite all parents to review it as they partner with us in caring for their children.
All-Ages Services
Several Sundays each year, we invite children to join the adults upstairs in the service. We do this because our kids are a blessing from God, we love them, and we believe that it’s important for us all to be together periodically. Scripture reminds us that even though kids can be rowdy and disruptive, Jesus welcomed infants and children and taught that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these (Luke 18:15–17). God has something good for all of us when we worship together.
On All-Ages Sundays, we gather as one family to worship, allowing children to witness prayer, Scripture, teaching, and communion, and allowing adults to learn from the joy, wonder, and attentiveness that children bring. To support families, we offer childcare for children up to age three and for children with special needs, and we provide resources like overflow seating with audio and video, coloring pages, and shakers for singing. The service is kept to around sixty minutes, and the teaching time is shortened to help families worship together with ease and joy.
