Sunday School Classes

Sunday School – Children age 3- 6th grade

TRINITY’S CLASSES FOR CHILDREN MEET SUNDAYS AT 10:45 A.M.

This is Trinity’s first year implementing LOVE FIRST as our Sunday School method. This program is centered in the summary of love taught by Jesus: Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Given the busy lives of most families, we are keeping our message understandable even for those who can only attend sporadically. At Trinity,LOVE FIRST will encourage inter-generational service projects – recognizing that children and youth can be ministers who actively help others. Following Jesus’ teachings on the most important commandment, our first quarter will focus on Loving Yourself, the second quarter on Loving Others, and the third quarter on Loving God. Both Bible stories and contemporary books with practical life applications will be used to inspire the children and their teachers during their weekly gatherings.
