Christian Education
Matthew 28:19-20
…make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you…
Teaching and baptism…Word and Sacrament…it’s how disciples of Jesus are made and strengthened. That is why we give so much attention and investment to education and teaching here at Trinity. We want you and your family to be fed the Word so that you can be strong disciples your whole life long.
Children (Pre-K through Fifth Grade)
During our 9:00 Sunday School hour, children are taught the Word of God on their level through story, song, and activities. The focus of our children’s curriculum is the Story of the Faith. Over a three-year cycle, children are taught all the foundational stories of the Bible.
Youth (Sixth through Twelfth Grade)
During our 9:00 Sunday School hour, youth are invited to join Pastor Doebler’s bible study (currently meeting in the sanctuary).
Youth confirmation is a separate class that meets on a two-year cycle Oct-May (new confirmands can join the class in either year).
During Year A, take a deep dive into the Bible—learning how to recognize that all the Scriptures are ultimately about Jesus! During Year B, we study Luther’s Small Catechism—which is a summary of the chief articles of faith that Lutherans believe, teach, and confess. The capstone of this class is the Rite of Confirmation, which is a public recognition that the church is obeying Jesus’ command to baptize and teach the faith.
Pastor Doebler teaches Youth Confirmation and it currently meets on Sunday afternoons. Contact Pastor if you would like to enroll your youth in confirmation class.
All Ages
Pastor Doebler’s Bible Class

Our study this year is “One Body: The One Faith That Makes Us One.” It is a rich and deeply practical survey of the doctrine we believe, teach, and confess.

Men’s Bible Study: The Armory
Our Men’s Bible Study is called The Armory. St. Paul tells us in Ephesians 6 that we are to be equipped with the full armor of God. We gather monthly together as men to “armor up” through worship, prayer, and the encouragement that we receive through the brotherhood. For more information contact the church office.
Women’s Bible Study
11:30 am-12:30 pm Thursdays—Sharyn Leiding leads this class. It meets in the conference room.
Seasonal Services (Advent and Lent)
