Welcome to Youth and Children's Ministry!
If you're looking for exciting Christian Formation programs for children and youth, then Holy Trinity Parish is the place for you! We have an outstanding nursery for our youngest children plus great educational programs for kids ages 3-18.
Ever wonder how to teach a small child the complexities of Episcopal liturgy? In our Godly Play class, children develop a love for our rich worship in age-appropriate ways. Click on "Sunday Mornings" for details.
Looking for a departure from traditional classes where children sit quietly while listening to lectures or writing in workbooks? Check out our lively Rotation Sunday School program! See how we use stories, drama, games, art, music, and computers to teach kids about the Bible, liturgy, church history, and social awareness.
At Holy Trinity, we have some of the best-trained youth acolytes you'll find anywhere. Why? Because for starters, we dedicate the entire fifth grade
Christian Formation class to acolyte training. The acolytes build upon their training each year-and have fun-through an out-of-town retreat. This fall, we're planning a trip to the National Acolyte Festival in Washington, DC!
Teenagers: Are you looking for a youth program where you can freely discuss the issues that matter to you most? Does the idea of having a close-knit group of friends at church appeal to you? Are you interested in going on a Christian pilgrimage to a place like England, Ireland, or Scotland? If so, then we encourage you to explore our Journey to Adulthood program. Please read on to find out more.

The Children's Committee
The Committee develops, supports, and evaluates ministries from birth through 4th grade. This committee meets monthly and is chaired by a lay person who works closely with the Rector, Vestry Representative, and Minister to Children and Youth.
The Youth Committee
The Holy Trinity Youth Committee is made up of parents, the youth Christian Formation vestry representative, and the minister to children and youth. They plan and implement all youth fundraising projects, work with major events such as the J2A pilgrimage and other out-of-town trips, advise the HTP Youth Council, and periodically review and evaluate class curricula. The Youth Committee's responsibilities include the fifth grade acolyte class and all three Journey to Adulthood classes-Rite-13, J2A, and YAC. Meetings are generally held on the second Sunday of each month.
The Youth Council
The Holy Trinity Youth Council consists of eight parish youth who are elected from the three Journey to Adulthood classes and from the acolyte program. They meet once per month to plan youth events inside and outside the church, assist with fundraising, and develop outreach projects. The HTP Youth Council members actively support the Millennium Development Goals , and as part of this vital campaign, they recently designated funding to benefit Heifer International and Food for the Poor .
