  • All Together in After-School

    Trinity Neighborhood’s after-school program is a vibrant, faith-centered community where students build friendships, grow in character, and experience a safe, nurturing environment that reflects God’s love.

  • God, Farm, and Community

    Trinity’s seventh-grade students stepped out of the classroom and into service at Spring Forest Farm, a monastic community dedicated to refugee support and sustainable agriculture. Through hands-on work—harvesting, painting, and farm maintenance—students connected biblical teachings with real-world impact. Inspired by the story of Ruth and Boaz, they discovered how acts of service, no matter how small, can transform both the giver and the receiver. This immersive experience reinforced the value of community, compassion, and faith in action. Read more about their journey of learning and service.
