Mission Statement: "Knowing by grace that the Spirit enlightens our Minds, stirs our Hearts and strengthens our Wills, we commit to study, teach, and live by God's Word fully known in Jesus Christ."

Sunday school for all ages is held at 9 a.m. between the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services. Children's choir practice is held at this time as needed. Occasional programs throughout the year (Enquirers' and Confirmation Classes, Lenten Programs, etc.) are offered as well.

Sunday School: Nothing keys our relationship to Christ better than the gift of shared faith. Sunday School for grades K-5 is based on the Sunday Readings (lectionary) and is led by a fabulous team of adults ready and prepared for encouraging faith development among our children. Just watch as our children share the joy of knowing Christ in their hearts. We are raising up the children to know the Lord!

Adult Forum: The Sunday offering for adults during the Sunday School draws men and women together to explore the Word of God.

Annual Highlights: Advent-Christmas (Advent Wreath making, Christmas Pageant,); Lent-Easter (Shrove Tuesday, Lenten Programs, Lenten Camp, Palm Sunday Crosses, and Mite Boxes & Flowering of the Cross); Pentecost (Parish Picnic and Teacher Appreciation/ Student Recognition, Vacation Bible School); and Late Pentecost (Sunday School start up in the fall, Blessing of the Animals, Parish Weekend and All Saints' Day Celebration). Visit the News page for dates and times.

Parish Weekend: Have you ever seen such joy and heard such tales of delight! The Annual Parish Weekend held in October of each year at Trinity Center has become a highlight for many. Connect with past attendees to find out more.

Confirmation Classes (for Youth 13 and up): Each year when the Bishop makes his visitation, young people 13 and up are encouraged to make an adult profession of faith and be Confirmed in their Faith. The classes for Confirmation will run through the late spring and early summer. The Bishop's next scheduled visit is September 2006.

Enquirers' Class: An Enquirers' Class is held at least once a year for adults who desire to know more about the Episcopal Church and who want to be Baptized, Confirmed or to be Received into the Episcopal Church. Contact the church office or one of the clergy for information.
