LIGHT@9
Trinity’s Church School, called LIGHT@9 (Learning in God’s House Together at 9 am) offers engaging and interactive classes for elementary, middle school, and high school students.
Children age 4 through grade 5 meet together in Vincent Hall with two experienced teachers, who guide them through lessons that include a welcome chant, music, a Bible lesson, and a wide variety of activities based on that lesson. Classes may include games, art, drama, science, video, or cooking.
Children through Grade 5 must be dropped off and picked up by their parents in accordance with our safe sanctuary policy. You may read our Safe Sanctuaries policy here.
The middle school class meets on the second floor and will primarily be learning about the Old Testament this year. The three-year program will take them through the New Testament next year and United Methodist history, emphases, and denominational structure in 2024-2025.
The high school class, also meeting on the second floor are exploring the stories of a new biblical character each week. With each story, students are encouraged to ask what new things God can teach them through these familiar tales.
