Trinity Student Ministry

 
 
 
Trinity Student Ministry’s (TSM) end goal is to help students (6th-12th Grade) grow in their relationship with God. We do this by teaching them to Grow Roots (Worship), to Grab Hands (Connect), and to Go Wide (Serve).

TSM SUNDAYS

We meet each Sunday morning at 11:00 in The Refinery located on the first floor near the elevator. After grabbing a donut and signing in, we gather together for worship and Bible study. During the school year, our Middles School Circles (Small Groups) meet during this time while High School is in one group in the Forge. For Summer and December we meet with everyone together during this time.
 
We also have a 9:45am Bible Study option in The Refinery for those who choose to attend worship at 8:30am or 11am.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

TSM WEDNESDAYS

TSM WEDNESDAYS are the best day of the week. Doors open each week at 5:30pm for hangout time and we finish at 7pm. At 6pm we start with everyone together for worship, and announcements, then dismiss High School to Circles (more on that shortly). From there, we have a service designed for our Middle Schoolers to connect and challenge them in their Faith. Meanwhile, our High Schoolers meet in Circles (Small Groups) to find community through small group Bible study and accountability. 
 
 
We have willing adults who are more than willing to help point students in the right direction to get connected and involved.

Meet Forrest Walker—Interim Student Minister

My name is Forrest Walker, and I am honored to step into the role of Interim Student Minister. This season is both humbling and exciting for me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside our students, families, and church during this time.
 
Before stepping into this role, I spent several years as a teacher, which deeply shaped my heart for students; not just academically, but personally, emotionally, and spiritually. I’ve always believed that young people don’t just need information; they need to be seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. My desire in youth ministry is to create a space where students feel safe asking hard questions, growing in their faith, and discovering who God has created them to be.
 
As Interim Student Minister, I’m not coming in with the goal of reinventing everything. Instead, I’m looking forward to building trust, providing consistency, and helping maintain a strong foundation during this transitional season. I am excited to invest in relationships, encourage spiritual growth, and support what God is already doing in the lives of our students.
 
I am especially looking forward to walking with students through Scripture, having honest conversations about faith and life, and helping them see that following Jesus is not just something for Sundays—it is something that shapes who we are every day. My prayer is that this time will be one of stability, encouragement, and meaningful growth for our youth ministry, and I am so thankful to be a part of it.

A Message from Wes Henson

In Philippians 1:3 Paul begins his thought with: “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,”
 
As many of you have heard, my final Sunday on staff at Trinity will be January 18th. I cannot express how grateful we are for the love we have been shown over the past almost seven years. I never anticipated the privilege of serving a body of believers who are so generous, alongside a staff who is so caring, with a group of adults so willing, and with a group of students who are so much fun. We truly consider Trinity to be family, and will miss so many aspects of what we have been able to do the past seven years.
 
But, as Paul writes just a few verses later in Philippians 1:7, “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
 
What has begun (or continued) will continue because God makes things grow. Thank you, Trinity Family, for continuing to be faithful to God in all things.

Reflections on My First Year at Trinity

by Alycia Apostolides
 
This month, while my boss is away on study leave, I thought I’d take a shot at writing the article for Trinity Life. As it happens, this month also marks my one-year anniversary of working here at Trinity! It’s hard to believe—it’s gone by so quickly. I truly love my job and feel incredibly blessed to work with such amazing people.
 
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to see firsthand what makes Trinity such a special place. Here are just a few things I’ve learned along the way:
  • The pastor, ministers and staff genuinely care for the people of Trinity.
  • They consistently go above and beyond to serve, which was especially evident during the events of this past summer.
  • Every week in our staff meetings, each prayer request is lifted up with intentionality and care.
  • We function as a united team, striving to bring glory to God and support His people in every way we can.
  • Trinity Student Ministry (TSM) is a wonderful place where students are growing in their understanding of God and His incredible love for them.
    Wes is a gifted encourager who leads TSM with both energy and grace. He’s supported by an amazing team of parent volunteers who faithfully invest in the lives of our students.
  • And last, but certainly not least, I’m grateful for a thoughtful and funny boss who encourages me, challenges me, and continues to help me grow. 
 
It is a joy to be part of this community, and I’m so grateful for all the ways I’ve grown over the past year, and all the wonderful people I’ve met. I’m excited to see what God has in store in the months and years ahead!
