Family Ministry
At Trinity, we believe children are active participants in God's family today—not just the future of the Church. Worship is one of the most important ways faith is formed, even long before children understand every word. Children learn by watching, listening, wondering, and joining in. Every hymn, prayer, blessing, and Bible reading helps shape their understanding of God's love.
We invite you to join us in Worship, Discipleship (Kids’ Crew ministry), and Fellowship (Playdates and Eagle Enrichment) and join the Trinity family!
Your Faith Shapes Theirs
One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is letting them see your own faith.
When they watch you sing, pray, listen attentively, confess your faith, and receive God's gifts, they begin to understand that worship isn't simply something we attend—it's how God's people gather around His Word and promises.
Don't worry if every Sunday isn't perfect. Faith is formed through countless ordinary Sundays together.
Every Family Is Different
Some Sundays your child may sit through nearly the whole service. Other Sundays you may spend part of the morning in the Family Room, walking the hallway, or comforting a tired toddler. That's okay.
The goal isn't perfect behavior. The goal is helping children discover that church is a place where they are known, loved, and welcomed by Jesus.
Helping Children Participate
Rather than worrying about keeping children perfectly quiet, invite them into what's happening.
You might quietly whisper:
"Now we're talking to God in prayer."
"Listen—this is one of God's promises."
"We're singing together because God is good."
Encourage them to join in the parts they know:
Amen
Lord, have mercy.
The Lord's Prayer
The Apostles' Creed
Even small children begin to recognize these words over time. They are learning that these prayers belong to them, too.
Nursing mothers are always welcome to feed their babies wherever they are most comfortable.
Trinity Playdates
Looking for a place to connect with other young families?
Trinity Playdates are a fun, welcoming gathering for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their caregivers. Join us for play, conversation, coffee, and encouragement as we build friendships and grow together in faith.
Whether you're part of our church, our school, or simply looking for a community to connect with, you're invited! Each playdate includes open play for children, time for caregivers to connect, and a brief devotion and prayer.
When: Select Thursdays throughout the school year, 8:00–9:30 a.m.
Where: Trinity Lutheran Church Sanctuary
Come as you are, bring a friend, and discover a place where families can find hope, belonging, and community.
