At Trinity Lutheran we welcome children of all ages as important members of the body of Christ. Trinity wants to partner with parents to connect kids to God’s bigger story. Children’s Ministry supports the family in helping nurture Christian values and faith. We want you and your children to know that God loves you and you belong here. We want our youngest children to know that they are loved and cared for by Jesus and give them opportunities to learn about God through Bible stories, activities at Trinity Kids, faith milestones, and special events.
At Trinity Kids we teach children age 2 through 5th grade the incredible faith stories in the Bible and connect those stories to our children’s lives. Our goal is building up faithful kids who are learning and growing in the love of Jesus through:
Bible stories with monthly themes and key verses
Relevant life applications
Engaging videos
Large-group teaching and small-group activities
Games and crafts
Milestone celebrations and Grow in Faith events (e.g., receiving Bibles and first Communion)
Family Worship is scheduled monthly in place of Trinity Kids giving families the opportunity to worship together. For kids in worship we have busy bags, and a family friendly Pray-Ground in the front of the sanctuary, and a nursery. Trinity encourages kids and families to serve together at family worship through reading scripture, greeting, or ushering. Our hope is that kids at Trinity feel a part of a community of believers to be built up and strengthened in faith and love. Contact Julie to learn more!

Trinity Lutheran offers a wonderful opportunity for children in grades K-5 to participate in a weekly choir ensemble, which sings in worship once each month and several other special occasions. These groups rehearse Wednesdays 4-5pm with students able to take the bus from Orono Public Schools to the church. The singers share snack-time, then gather in rehearsal to explore their voices, make music, meet new friends, and share the gift of praise. Joyful Noise is made-up of K-2nd grade singers, and Youth Choir is 3rd-5th Grade.

We recognize important Milestones in the faith lives of children, and partner with parents to learn, grow, and celebrate these steps in children’s faith journey. Milestones are recognized in worship on Sunday mornings and Grow in Faith events also happen on Sundays.
We are changing up the way we do First Communion, instead of a 4th grade specific milestone we invite parents to decide when their child is ready for their First Communion. Contact Julie with questions.
The nursery welcomes children up to age 3 at all Sunday worship services, some Wednesday evenings during Lent and some special events. Our nursery is staffed by loving volunteers who strive to provide a healthy, safe environment for children.
