WE LOVE STUDENTS!

Trinity Student Ministry exists to connect students to Jesus Christ and help them develop their own faith story! A story that inspires them to live out the Gospel every day. If you spend any time at our church, one thing will become immediately clear: we love students! They’re smart, funny, bold, and full of potential. We truly believe that the middle and high school students in our midst are world changers in the making.


That’s why student ministry is such a central part of what we do at Trinity. We work hard to create environments where students can engage in meaningful conversations about God, like asking questions, seeking answers, and learning to listen to His guidance in their lives. We also strive to provide a judgment-free space where students can feel comfortable connecting with peers and growing in their relationship with God.
