YOUth
Trinity UMC values young people believing in the strength of the relationships formed at a young age within a Christian community. These relationships encourage, nurture, challenge and support youth in good and difficult times. Trinity UMC takes seriously its responsibility to raise young people and promote discipleship.
TEAM CYF (children, youth and family) is a dynamic group or ministry of people ranging in ages 10 to 86 years of age who CARE about young people. This ministry meets regularly to provide good counsel in areas such as Faith Formation, Youth Group, Mission trips, engaging worship, fun outings and meaningful service opportunities. Youth are an integral part of the whole faith picture at Trinity UMC. Equipping leaders at a young age is innovative, smart and fun!
Trinity UMC offers a variety of Faith Formation opportunities for YOUth:
CONFIRMATION COHORT

Confirmands meet 2x a month on Sundays from 5:30 to 7:00pm enjoying a variety of learning opportunities through lessons based in Methodism, interactive activities, special guest speakers, meals, mentors and more! Service opportunities and diverse worship experiences are part of the journey as is an off-site retreat. Family involvement makes for more meaningful connections during this exciting time on the faith journey. Schedule is subject to change depending on the size of the group.
