Faith Formation

Trinity encourages all parishioners to continually explore their faith.  Our church offers educational programs for all ages.

Church Night Classes - Full Schedule Now Available

Church Night is a well-established program at Trinity and it presents a wide variety of programs and topics.  Classes are held from 7-8PM following a potluck dinner at 6:15PM on Wednesday nights between September and June.  A full schedule Church Night is available here.  We also offer nursery care in the Nursery for children from infants up through 4 years old, as well as programs in Merrick Hall downstairs for children ages 5 and up.

Baptism

Baptism is a public entrance of persons into a living body of faith – the Church.  We strive to give our love, encouragement and support to those reborn into New Life in Christ through their baptismal vows.  The clergy work with candidates, parents, sponsors and godparents through a brief series of classes in preparation for the sacrament of baptism.  Memento gifts and a reception after the service are  visual signs of our welcome and nurturing.  Baptisms are performed at Easter, Pentecost (late spring), All Saints (early November) and Epiphany (January).

Confirmation

Confirmation is a reaffirmation of one’s baptismal vows and a formal commitment as a member of the Episcopal Church.

The rite of confirmation occurs when the Bishop makes an official visit to Trinity and also at several designated times throughout the year at St. Mark’s Cathedral in Seattle.  Classes are held in advance to help people prepare for this sacramental step.

Christian Formation

Christian Formation is a ministry to provide special retreats and other special programs for the parish, such as sacramental preparation, inquirers’ classes and educational offerings.

Other Educational Opportunities

Educational offerings are available from the Diocese of Olympia, including the annual Ministry Resource Day, Diocesan School of Ministry and Theology courses and Cathedral events and programs.  The Diocesan Resource Center in Seattle offers a wide variety of books, videos and other material.

Parish Library

The parish library is located in the Guild Room.  All books are available to be checked out.
