Christian Education
| Children and Youth Emergency form |
Christian Education is an important part of who we are as Jesus disciples and who we are here at Trindle Spring. On Sunday mornings we have educational opportunities for all ages, and we encourage you to find an opportunity that fits you. Below are brief descriptions of our current Sunday morning offerings.
Children’s and Youth Classes
Frolic Class: Parents with children from birth to 4 years old are invited to participate together in this new class. Together with your child you explore stations around the classroom to learn about Bible stories and faith.
Elementary Age classes: Children Pre-K through 5th grade participate in our Sunday morning Spark classes. Each week this curriculum explores one of the lectionary Bible stories for the morning. There is a class for 3- and 4-year-olds, one for kids K-2, and another for kids in grades 3-5.
Confirmation: This class prepares youth to affirm their baptism, usually on Reformation Sunday of their 9th grade year. 7th and 8th grade youth meet once a month throughout the school year to explore faith topics from the Bible and the Small Catechism.
Middle School: Sunday School for Middle Schooler is a separate program from confirmation classes, but an important time to gather to talk about their faith and explore the bible.
High School: This class invites 9-12th grade youth to gather in a relaxed atmosphere to explore their faith on a deeper level and how that faith intersects with their daily life, using a variety of curriculum and resources.
Vacation Bible School: Every summer TSLC hosts a week of VBS for kids 3 years old through 5th grade. Each year is a new theme and the evening consists of dinner, music, games, snack, crafts, and a Bible lesson.
Adult Classes
Young at Heart Class: This class is a Bible Study class that follows the lectionary reading (the readings we use in worship). Grounded in the Scripture readings for the given Sunday helps the participants to gain more meaning from the Bible passages and sermon.
Crossroads Class: This class uses “Wired Word” curriculum to look at and discuss current topics and events through a biblical lens, exploring how our faith affects the way we see and interact with our world.
Adult VBS: Each summer Trindle Spring has its Vacation Bible School. Here it’s not just for the kids, though. Each night starts with dinner all together, and then the adults head off for their own study. It is usually a book of the Bible or another faith topic.
Look in the newsletter or bulletin for other short term classes that are offered throughout the year..
Growing Faith at Home: TSLC offers many opportunities for growth that take place at the church. But growing in our faith also needs to take place at home. Here at Trindle Spring we offer devotional booklets, web links, and Facebook posts.
