Children in worship
Children of all ages are ALWAYS welcome in our worship time. We have a children's moment every Sunday at the beginning of our worship service. Afterwards, children 12 and under are invited to go back to the children's space in our education building for Children's Church.
We also have 10:00 AM Sunday School in the children's room, during when the Adult Sunday School classes also happen.
Contact Children's Director Dawn Wilson here for questions!

Children's Church Curriculum
At Trinity, we use Sparkhouse for our Children's Church curriculum, to tie into the same scriptures that Rev. Ben Gosden discusses each Sunday morning in worship.
This three-year curriculum that corresponds with the Revised Common Lectionary helps kids learn at their level, and Sunday school lessons connect kids with Bible stories Engage with the Bible story with lessons packed with activities, interactive games, and creative crafts.
Each lesson follows a four-part sequence:
Gather – Begin the day by gathering together and trying a warm-up activity
Open the Bible – Open Bibles and explore the day’s story
Activate Faith – Get moving and become engaged in the story they just read by using their leaflets
Send – Finish with a closing activity and prayer

Director of Children's Ministries

She believes in the importance of getting away and disconnecting from the world for a while to refresh and renew your spirit.
From Dawn: “I work with some amazing people who lovingly teach the lessons I plan and go along with whatever crazy plan I come up with, which includes wearing costumes and pajamas! I plan various fun events throughout the year for both children and parents alike so as to nurture the well being of the family as a whole unit. We’d love for your family to join us.”
