Sunday School Program

Trinity offers Sunday School each Sunday at each campus at 9:45am for one hour. Children learn Bible stories, life application of God’s Word in their daily lives, how they are a part of God’s kingdom and how much God loves them. Summers and holiday weekends give us the opportunity to switch things up a bit and shake up the curriculum, sometimes providing group activities, sometimes trying out a multi-generational study.

Simply Loved Curriculum

Simply Loved Sunday School is designed to help kids remember each lesson long after their children’s ministry years. Bible Stories are shared each week through active, participatory learning which is age appropriate. Bible Buddies help to reinforce the Bible story and Bible Verse each week. The children are given a Bible Buddy sticker with the Bible Verse on it so they can place God’s Word in their hearts and minds. This curriculum also emphasizes Life Application of God’s Word into their daily lives as we learn how much God loves us and then we seek to Simply Love others around us.

Milestones

As children learn and grow in their knowledge of the Bible and understanding in faith, they reach tangible milestones of learning. We celebrate each of these milestones as an important step in a lifetime of learning. At Trinity, we celebrate milestones, starting from birth with baptism. We continue them in our Sunday morning program. Milestones include:

  • Age 2: Bible presentation
  • Age 3: Prayer Book
  • Age 4: The Lord’s Prayer
  • Kindergarten: The 10 Commandments
  • Grade 1: The 10 Commandments
  • Grade 2: Bible presentation and Books of the Bible
  • Grade 3: Books of the Bible
  • Grades 4 and 5: The Apostles’ Creed

All completed milestones are celebrated in a worship service. 

Mentoring – Mission Campus

All children from second grade to fifth grade are assigned a youth or adult mentor. This is a time for your child to develop a relationship with another person at Trinity. These relationships help children feel more comfortable in our church environment and give them valuable interaction with mature Christians. Children learn how important faith is to the adults around them. Mentoring begins promptly at 9:35am and lasts for 10 minutes. It is important for your child to be in attendance by 9:35am so they can spend the full 10 minutes with the mentor.
