The mission of education at Grace & Holy Trinity Church is to offer a lifelong learning environment in which we are inspired and strengthened as disciples of Jesus Christ through Scripture, Reason and Tradition.

Sunday Education Hour

There are classes for all ages at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings.  We have two adult offerings.  One is the "Bible Study/Forum" and for more information on this contact the Rev. Michael Cadaret.  The other adult opportunity is "Coffee and Conversation."  This is an informal time of fellowship in the parish hall following breakfast.  We have engaging classes for 6th through 12th graders and for more information on these opportunities as well as other youth activities please contact the Rev. Lauren Kuratko.  For information on children's classes, birth through fifth grade, please contact the Rev. Michael Cadaret.

 

Nursery

The nursery is open each Sunday morning for the 8:45am service stays open until after the last service of the morning. Our well appointed nursery is located on the second floor in room #2. During the summer the nursery is open for the  "Good Book Club" and for the 10:00 a.m. service. You may use the stairs at the front or back of the building. An elevator is available on the Cherry Street (back) side of the building. We have a state of the art pager system so that you may feel comfortable leaving your child in the knowledge that we can page you if you are needed. We often provide a nursery and child care for other church events. Please contact the Rev. Michael Cadaret for more information.

Children

We offer a wonderful Sunday School staffed by dedicated volunteers beginning at 10:00am on Sundays. There is a pre-school class, a kindergarten through first grade class, a second and third grade class and a fourth and fifth grade class. To learn more please contact the Rev.

Godly Play

This program for children 3–7 years of age, is offered during the 11:00am service (10:00am in the summer). It is a liturgical curriculum modeled after the Montessori approach to education. It includes worship, prayer, singing, scripture story time, play, and a simple snack of Gold Fish and apple juice. The children then join their family for Holy Communion. The leaders are trained in the Godly Play method.

Youth

In addition, the youth meet regularly for fellowship, fun and service. To learn more about these activities as well as to learn more about Confirmation please contact the Rev. Lauren Kuratko.
