Christian Education

Christian Day School

Trinity is committed to helping member families receive a Christian K-8 education for their children at one of the many excellent Lutheran schools in our area. Children at Trinity are currently enrolled at St. Peter Lutheran School in Prairietown, Trinity Lutheran School in Edwardsville, Zion Lutheran School in Staunton, and St. Paul Lutheran School (classical) in Hamel.

Sunday School

Trinity’s Sunday school is staffed by volunteers who prepare younger children for formal catechetical instruction. Hymns, Scripture and Catechism memory, and Bible stories help provide a foundation for Confirmation.

Confirmation

Confirmation instruction is provided to all children at Trinity and Zion on a schedule determined by each family. Scripture and Martin Luther’s Small Catechism are the focus of this pastor-led sequence of lessons, which normally lasts for two years. Confirmation includes private and public examination.

altar guild girls

Girls who have been confirmed continue meet to care for our church and congregation. Altar Guild tasks, hospitality, and mercy care are all included in welcoming young women into lifelong service in the Lord’s house. Quarterly sessions also meet in concurrence with Sons of Schieferdecker meetings for young men hosted by our neighbors at St. Paul Lutheran in Hamel.
