Youth Group
Trinity Youth Group is a place where you can ask big questions about God, life, and meaning, all within an inclusive and welcoming community. Bring your doubt, bring your curiosity, bring yourself — exactly as you are.
We meet on Wednesdays from 6-8pm at Trinity Commons to eat dinner, play games, and talk about what’s on our minds, supported by our beliefs and by one another. Our fall sessions begin on September 23.
Sign up for Trinity Youth 2026–27 to get started. Questions? Contact Youth Minister SK Doyle at SDoyle@TrinityChurchNYC.org.
Fall Programs
Back-to-School Blessing
September 13, 2026, 9am, Trinity Church
Join us at the 9am service to celebrate the new school year! Students of all ages, families, and teachers will be welcomed back with prayers for grace and wisdom — and a small gift to mark the occasion. We’ll also bless Trinity's Children, Youth, and Family staff and thank them for their work in our community.
Trinity Youth 101
Sunday, September 13, 10–11am, Trinity Commons
Stop by our open house to learn everything you wanted to know about Trinity Youth, our program for middle and high school students. We’ll answer questions about joining Youth Group, Bible and Bagels, Afterschool, retreats, pilgrimages, and more. You can connect with new and returning youth, meet staff, and register for the 2026-27 school year.
Youth Confirmation 2026–2027
Registration Open: September 27–November 11
Do you want to take the next step in your journey with God? Trinity Youth Confirmation is a process that readies young people to make a mature and public commitment to God and one another in the presence of the bishop. Youth in grades 8 and above who are preparing for confirmation in May 2027 will be expected to engage with the Trinity Youth community throughout the program year, including participation in Bible and Bagels, Youth Group, fall and spring Youth Retreats, and confirmation prep classes.
Registration coming soon
Every spring, we lead a group of pilgrims to Taizé, a monastery in eastern France. We spend nearly a week entering into the community’s rhythm and engaging with youth from around the world. Register Now
