Weekday Church School

This program is offered twice a year, in the fall and spring, for children ages 3-5.  Each six-week session includes Bible stories, crafts, games, snacks, and music that all focus on the theme of the session.

 

Advent Workshop

This wonderful event, held on the first Sunday in Advent, begins our holiday preparations with a focus on Christ and his birth.  We enjoy a short worship time followed by a delicious meal and a time to make Advent Wreaths and holiday crafts with our families.  No fee for this event, but a free will donation is accepted.

 

Children's Choirs

All choirs begin in September, on the first Wednesday from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. until May.  Preschool choir; for children age 4 as of September 30 through Kindergarten; Cherub choir for children grades 1 & 2; and our Junior Choir for children grades 3-6.

 

Children's Ministries events

The Children's Ministries Planning Board  is a group of Trinity members that plans events for specific age groups outside of the Sunday School opportunity.  Our 4-6th graders gather 3 to 4 times a year to do a service project combined with a fun activity, and the 3-year-olds thru 3rd graders enjoy events geared toward learning more about special times of the year such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.

 

Concert Kids for 6th graders ONLY!! 

This group was formed because of concern over today's secular music and a desire to share the contemporary Christian rock option with our 6th graders.  Trinity parents chaperone this fun activity that includes dinner together and a lot of fun!

 

Creative Movement Program 

You won't want to miss this time of music, movement, and fun as we enjoy Creative Movement led by Mark Koehler.  Children of all ages are sure to enjoy this program!!  For more information on fees and registration, call Mark at 419-281-8948

 

Vacation Bible School

VBS is held the first or second week in June and is an excellent opportunity to minister to the children of our congregation and community.  It takes over 70 volunteers to run this week-long program that shares the love of Christ with nearly 300 children from age 3-8th grade!  Don't miss out on the fun!

 

Reading Enrichment

This program is offered for two weeks in July to all students who have  completed the 1-4th grades.  This Christian-based program focuses on helping children hone their reading skills through hands-on activities, field trips, and storytellers.  Certified teachers work with classes of 10 children to optimize the teaching/learning opportunity.
