Philosophy
At Trinity Kids, we strive to glorify God and draw children into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that will continue to be central to their identity throughout their entire life. Our team views the family as the primary place where children learn about God. We work strategically to challenge and prepare parents to be the primary spiritual leaders in the life of their children.
While we strive to make Sunday the best hour of your child’s week, we know that we can do more through intentional relationship building, and grade specific milestones. Our mid-week program, Club, is geared towards building relationships with leaders, connecting with others, and being transformed by learning and growing in a Christ centered community.

Milestones
Equipping children and parents on their journey of faith!
KINDERGARTEN
Kindergarten is a special year for both children and parents. We want to equip parents and children with tools that are essential to a lifelong relationship with Jesus. During this Milestone, parents will present the Jesus Storybook Bible. This age appropriate Bible and will be used for church, home and daily Bible reading. We encourage children to bring their Bibles to church each Sunday and become active worshippers in Sunday school.
FIRST GRADE
Our first graders discover the importance of prayer. They will learn to memorize the Lord’s Prayer and take time to study the Sermon on the Mount. The first grade leaders will guide the children through opportunities to discover ACTS – adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication.
SECOND GRADE
The second graders receive their very own Adventure Bibles. While preparing for Bible Sunday, the children will gain knowledge of how the Bible was written, how to use the Bible for studying and applying the Scriptures to everyday life.
THIRD GRADE
The third graders will have hands-on time where teachers and parents participate in teaching about baptism and communion. The children will have an opportunity to partake in communion with the greater church community. In spring, they will discover the connection between Communion and Passover.
FOURTH GRADE
The fourth grade class will discover what it means to be “Living Biblically.” This Milestone teaches stewardship and the commandments. The stewardship Milestone partners with Thrivent Financial to demonstrate the importance of taking care of the resources God has entrusted to their care.
FIFTH GRADE
The fifth grade class will finish the year knowing and memorizing the Apostles’ Creed. This Milestone, in conjunction with their The New City Catechism curriculum, will be foundational in an ever-changing world.
