Every young person in grades 5-12 who attends Holy Trinity is welcome to join our youth community. Tweens includes 5th and 6th-graders. Jr. EYC includes 7th and 8th-graders, and Sr. EYC includes 9th–12th-graders.
The goal of the youth program is to incorporate teens into a sacred community of radical acceptance, allowing them the space to figure out who they are and what gifts they have to offer, and giving them a deeper connection to the presence of God so that they may become co-creators with God in our world.
Tweens in 5th and 6th grade use the Godly Play curriculum, a method of Christian education and spiritual direction designed to help children become more fully aware of the mystery of God’s presence in their lives through the use of parables, sacred stories, silence and liturgical action.
Seventh through 12th-graders will be walking through the sacred stories of our faith, using both the Old and New Testaments. Tweens, Jr. and Sr. EYC meet on Sunday evenings from 4:30–6:30 p.m. for dinner, fellowship and fun. On the first Sunday of the month, youth are invited to stay for a jam session with Joshua from 6:30–7:30 p.m.
Youth groups also participate in occasional retreats, day and overnight trips. Check out the Special Events for Families page for details!

Confirmation is a sacramental rite that connects us back to our baptism, when our parents and godparents promise to raise their child in the life of the church. At confirmation, the young person takes on that responsibility for him/herself as a young adult in the church. Confirmation at Holy Trinity traditionally is for high school youth.
Parents of high shool youth are invited to join us for an informational meeting about our 2011 Confirmation program on Sunday, November 14, 2010 at 10:15 a.m. in the Youth Ministry Center.
Confirmation will take place with the bishop’s visit on Sunday, June 5, 2011. Contact Anne-Barton Carter, 272-6149 ext. 221 or .
We mark the rite of passage from childhood to adulthood during the Rite 13 Liturgy, in which we celebrate the fact that our 13-year-olds are becoming men and women and that they have special creative gifts given to them by God.
More information about the 2011 Rite 13 Liturgy will be available in the spring. Contact Anne-Barton Carter, 272-6149 ext. 221 or .
