Religion Curriculum

In Religion classes at Trinity, we focus on Godly Play, a method of leading children on a path of spiritual development. We use storytelling, wondering dialogue and creative play to inspire a deeper connection with students’ faith. Because children are born with a strong spiritual connection to God, Godly Play values rich Christian language to help children continue growing in their relationship with God. Godly Play is about connecting the story of God’s people with our own life experiences.

During class, students sit together and experience a biblical story. They listen to sacred stories, liturgical stories and parables and then wonder together with open-ended questions and responses. Afterwards, students have time to thank God by creating personal meaning from the story through artistic expression. Godly Play offers time for children to slow down and come close to God alongside their peers and in a loving, Christian environment.
