Children's ministries

A nursery is provided for infants and toddlers, newborn to age 2, between 9:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. on Sunday mornings. The nursery is located on the 2nd floor of our Education Building in Room 204. (For those who have used our Sunday morning nursery in the past, please note that this is a new location.)

Trinity offers Sunday school to children ages 3 through 5th grade,  9:45-10:45, on the second floor children’s hallway. All classes use the curriculum, Think Orange, which focuses on the idea that when churches and families partner together, we can make a bigger impact in the spiritual growth of our children. 

Children may attend the Liturgical Service with their parents. Most services include a Children's Message for all ages. After the Children's Message, children ages 3 through second grade are invited to attend Children's Time with Mrs. Duclos in room 205, where parents can pick them up after the service.

NETKids is an exciting fellowship program where children in grades K-5 children build their relationship with God and others through Bible stories, missions, games, crafts, music, woodworking, and more. We meet September through May, 3:15–5:30 p.m. There is a $35 registration fee for the year to help cover the cost of supplies. Register through our app or the Events page of our website.

Preschoolers have music time each week during Sunday school and sing occasionally in worship as the Cherub Choir. During the Large Group experience, elementary children engage in lively praise songs to reinforce the lessons being taught in the classroom. Elementary children who are interested in a church choir experience are encouraged to become a part of NETKids on Wednesday afternoons, 3:30-5:30. 

VBS is scheduled for June 8-12. We invite rising kindergarten - fifth grade students to plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of a loving God and be rooted in a relationship with Him! Register using the link below.

We also need adult and youth (rising 6th-12th grader) volunteers to make VBS a success. Click below to sign up as a volunteer!

Trinity UMC Youth and Children will be attending Warren Willis Camp July 13 - 18 this year. This is for rising 4th-graders through Super Seniors (those who have just graduated in May 2026). Click below to register for camp.

The Carolyn Hart Memorial Children’s Library includes colorful picture books, Bibles, and some reference material appropriate for preschoolers and children in elementary school. Topics include Bible stories, contemporary stories emphasizing Christian beliefs and values, books on Christian holidays, and biographical or historical accounts. This library collection is named for Carolyn Hart, a long-time elementary Sunday School superintendent who left a bequest to create a children’s library at Trinity. For more information about the library or to request new materials, please contact church librarian Gloria Colvin.

For information about the McKenzie Library, our collection for adults, please see the Adult Ministries page.
