Children & Youth Faith Formation

Trinity Cathedral offers children, youth and families a variety of programs to foster a life of faith at the church and at home. Our programs strive to give children tools to navigate their own spiritual journeys as they learn who they are and make their way into the world.

Young children are welcome in worship, and the cathedral has a space where children can move and play during the service. Children four years old through 5th grade can participate in Children’s Chapel during the 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Sunday services.

Trinity offers Sunday school and Youth Group for children (Pre-K through 6th grade) and youth (7th-12th grade) at 10:10 a.m. each Sunday during the program year, as well as special events for both throughout the year.
