Youth Ministries

The Youth Ministry of Trinity Church provides programs and opportunities for youth in grades 6-12 to share Christian fellowship with others. We seek to deepen faith, nurture a love of serving, and enable young people to understand and recognize who Jesus is and what it means to live for God.

Welcome to Trinity Youth!

Trinity Church’s Youth Ministry is a place where students in grades 6-12 can grow in faith, build real friendships, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life. Through fun events, honest conversations, service projects, and worship, we create space for youth to explore their identity in Christ and live out their faith boldly.

Whether you're new to church or have grown up in it, you belong here. Come hang out, ask questions, make a difference, and have a little fun along the way.

  • When We Meet:

    Youth Ministry gatherings currently follow a monthly schedule. While dates and times may vary slightly, we’re working toward a more consistent rhythm. Stay tuned for updates, and feel free to reach out with questions!

  • For Parents:

    Youth ministry is a partnership with families. If you have any questions or want to get involved, please feel free to contact the church office or reach out to me directly at youth@trinityumd.org. You can also join our Flocknote group to stay updated on all youth ministry news and events.

Just SOME of our Ministries & Programs:

  • Confirmation Class

    Confirmation is a two-year course (starting in 7th grade or older) where we will look at various topics within the Christian faith and discuss what they mean (or don't mean) for our lives. We examine these topics through the lenses of Scripture, Christian tradition, and our own experiences, to reason out what these topics mean for our discipleship today.

  • Wisconsin United Methodist Camps

    Trinity Church encourages all youth to attend camp! There are many faith-filled options for all ages and interests offered by the camping ministries of the Wisconsin Conference of the United Methodist Church. For more information about camps and scholarships talk to Pastor Eric or visit the Wisconsin United Methodist Camps website.
