Christian Education

Our Christian Education Mission is to Create Seekers of Christ.

We strive to provide an atmosphere that nurtures and facilitates learning, where participants feel welcomed, safe, and loved; Where opportunities to stretch ones faith abounds. We also recognize that not all learning takes place in a classroom: walking a labyrinth; praying with a small group, sharing a meal with friends, offering food to someone who is hungry, can provide opportunities to grow in faith. So, while we extend numerous classes to our members. Classes that we hope challenge our beliefs and take us out of our comfort zones, we recognize that the umbrella of Christian Education is much broader and includes how we walk with our brothers and sisters in Christ, through our social justice ministry, our fellowship ministry and our personal study and discipline.

All Sunday morning classes are held from 9:15am – 10:15 am., beginning fall of 2011

Adult Studies

Sunday Morning Bible Study – Our adult Sunday morning Bible Study uses The Present Word Curriculum. The Present Word, seeks to facilitate mastery of Bible content, understanding of the Bible in relation to life experiences, and a greater awareness of God's self-disclosure, especially God's redeeming love as revealed in Jesus Christ. Join us on Sunday mornings, from 9:15-10:15 a.m., in the Spiritual Life Center.

Weekday Bible Study – The weekday Bible study meets on Tuesday mornings from 10:45 – 11:45 a.m., in the Choir Room. Bible study content is decided by the group.

Stefaniak Men's Group – This non-traditional Bible study explores spirituality and its many forms for Christians in today's world. The group directs the flow of discussions and spiritual exploration. Meetings are held monthly during the evening hours and meeting times may vary.

Circles – The Presbyterian Women's Association organizes small groups of women into “Circles" that meet monthly for Bible study, mission planning, and spiritual formation. The circles also gather as a large group each month for fellowship over lunch with a guest speaker or presenter.

The Way Group – Exploring and sharing how scripture speaks to each of us as an individual, this group meets Sunday evenings in a participant’s home.

Youth

Sunday School – Our High School group meets for Sunday school at a local coffee shop.

Second Sundays – The second Sunday of every month is all about our church's kids! Second Sundays with Trinity's Youth is a time for our kids to take their own unique role in our church's ministry. Events are a blend of activities at the church and trips around Milwaukee and beyond. They incorporate fun and fellowship mixed with character-building and life-changing mission opportunities.
