TRINITY Youth
At Trinity, it's our desire to see teenagers grow in their intimacy with God, in community with other believers, and in their influence with those outside the Christian faith. One of the best ways we know how to accomplish this is to partner with parents as together we lead teens in a growing relationship with Jesus. If we can create environments where teens experience care, belonging, and accountability, then we think we're headed in the right direction.

Opportunities to Engage
Wednesday Nights
Wednesday nights are all about having fun, building friendships, and being part of a great group of people who want to grow in their faith. With plenty of games and laughter it's a great place to connect.
Sunday Bible Study
Students gather to read and talk about the Bible, ask real questions, and connect their faith to everyday life. It’s a relaxed, welcoming space to learn, build friendships, and grow in faith together.
Spring Retreats
Teens have the opportunity to be a part of our spring retreats for both middle school and high school.
Mission Trips
Our youth mission trips are a chance for students to step outside their normal routines and spend a week serving others, growing in faith, and building lasting friendships. Through hands-on projects, shared experiences, and time together as a group, students see how they can make a difference while discovering more about what it means to follow Jesus.
