| EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES |
Learning is one of the great gifts our Creator has endowed us with, and Trinity Episcopal Church takes the stewardship of that gift seriously. Throughout the year there are chances for folks young and old to study, ask questions and share stories with one another that help all of us grown in our knowledge and love of God and of one another.

Our Sunday School is held for children in grades K-6, on Sunday mornings from 8:45 – 9:30. The curriculum we use follows a theme throughout the year such as Heroes of the Bible, this year’s theme. Students focus on one of the heroes of our faith for a 4 – 5 week period, each week using a different learning tool to explore the character and stories of a particular hero. Craft projects, movies, plays, Bible Jeopardy and other games provide a variety of ways for children to grasp in some detail the stories and their underlying lessons for our own lives.

On Sunday mornings from 10:30 – 11:30am, adults gather for Sunday Conversations a time for study and discussion of a wide variety of topics. Some weeks sermons are discussed, other weeks current events are explored in light of our Christian faith. Always lively and open to all inquiring minds and hungry hearts.

On Wednesday evenings (except during Lent) members of Trinity gather for Bible Study from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. Ginnie-Lee McCaddin helps to organize the study and guide the discussion, but there’s no telling where this group of hungry Bible Scholars will wind up the evenings inquiry. Regardless of how much or how little you think you know about the Bible, your questions and insights are always welcome.
