Educational Ministry of Trinity

Christian Education Program

Our mission is to serve as an integral part of Trinity UCC by assuming primary responsibility for the church’s educational ministry.

We embrace a nurturing model of spiritual development, ministering to the entire family and seeking opportunities for growth in all ages. Our worship and educational activities are based on our belief in the Triune God who reveals God’s Self through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, and in the historical teachings of the Christian Church.
