Confirmation at Trinity is a three-year ministry that typically begins in the fall of the 6th grade year and ends with the Rite of Confirmation on the last Sunday of October for 9th grade students. This ministry offers a wide variety of experiences and has built in flexibility to meet a diversity of individual needs and learning styles. Trinity is a welcoming community and desires to work with the needs/situations of each family.
Confirmation ministry is a voluntary program and is available to those who wish to learn more and grow in their faith. The Rite of Confirmation (Affirmation of Baptism) is not a sacrament in the Lutheran Tradition. It is a public affirmation of our baptism/faith. We trust that each family takes this commitment seriously and understands the reasons why they are participating. We want our youth to learn how to get involved, to serve, to give, to grow and to go beyond just showing up. We expect that students will participate constructively in their small group Huddle by respectfully engaging in discussion—to think, ask questions, share ideas, employ creativity, pray and have fun! Our large group time is made up of music, games, and a topical talk that centers around the theme of the night.
KICKOFF WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 – A Parent/Student Night
Text MIDDLE to Trinity 952-473-8577 or click the button below. Trinity MS Youth T-shirt included with registration.
During Lent, Confirmation youth will participate in a 1:1 mentoring program instead of regular confirmation. Each youth will choose a trusted adult to be their Faith Mentor (not their own parent or grandparent). Together they’ll attend Wednesday worship and meet for 20–30 minutes weekly (following worship) to reflect on their experience.
2025 LENTEN WEDS: MARCH 12, 19, 26 & APRIL 2 & 9
The goal is to build relationships with supportive adults in their faith journey. Mentors should be 18+, preferably Trinity members or regular attenders. Discussion guides will be provided. Wednesday dinners (5-6:15pm) will continue during Lent, and pairs are encouraged to share a meal as part of their discussion time.
If you know your Faith Mentor or if you’d like to volunteer to be mentor, sign up below.

Friday Nite LIVE is a two-hour blast of energy and movement for our Middle school students and their friends. These are designed as outreach events for the community we live in. Each one has a themed experience wrapped around it. It is maximum fun, awesome food, crazy games, and plenty of booming music. We hold these events several times during the year and the cost is just $10 per person.
We have a great summer camp opportunity for 6th-8th grade youth. Trinity partners with Camp Wapo in Amery Wisconsin to offer a variety of summer camp experiences. Contact Julie Vagle or Kiana Temanson with questions.

wapo week (4th-8th Grades) is a week of camp fun where kids participate in a bunch of fun activities including beach time, field games, campfires, cabin time, chapel, Bible studies, canteen, free time, Gaga, capture the flag, and more. Campers will experience a place of love and grace to meet new friends, try new activities, grow closer to God, and make great memories.
Save the date for the Summer CYF Fundraiser on April 13, 2025. Funds raised will help lower registration costs for Trinity youth attending Camp Wapo and the HS Sky Ranch Mission trip this summer (camper and/or family members participation is required in order to benefit from the fundraiser).
