Youth 

Home Visitors

Trinity has a number of active groups for the younger members of the congregation, and for others outside the immediate congregation.

Boys Brigade

The Boys Brigade is a uniformed organisation for boys age 5 to 17 years. The Boys Brigade was founded over 100 years ago and every Company is part of a Christian Church.

Here at Trinity the 1st Earley Company runs three sections:

The Anchor Boys for 5-8 year olds (meeting Thursdays at 6.00pm)
The Junior Section for 8-11 year olds (meeting Fridays at 6.30pm)
The Company and Senior Section for over 11 years old. (Fridays at 7.30pm)

In recent years the Company has been very successful in football, table tennis, chess, athletics and Maze drill competitions. One of the highlights of the Brigade year is the annual camp.

Pilots

Pilots is a non-uniformed organisation for boys and girls aged 5 to 15 years. Pilots receive a badge when they are enrolled, and they have stylish sweatshirts and T-shirts (optional).

Pilots are called:

Deckhands (if aged 5-7)
Adventurers (7-10)
Voyagers (11-15)

Pilots meet every Monday evening at 6.00pm, for various activities including games, art, craft, drama and topics of interest of which a record is kept towards Crest Awards throughout the year. Pilots meet with other Pilot companies in the country for days of fun, fellowship and games during the year. Organised camps are held in the summer for Pilots aged 9 and over. The aim is to help the children feel part of the Church Family.

Nursery Services

Nursery Services at Trinity Church begin at 2pm and finish around 3pm every Wednesday during the school term. . Details can be found on the Services page

Cradle Roll

Trinity has a large cradle roll of those who have been baptised at the Church, and we organise a weekly Nursery Service on Wednesdays (14.00) aimed at the pre-school children and their parents.

Holiday Bible Club

Each year during the summer holiday we organise a Holiday Bible Club with Bible-based fun for the children aged 5 -11, usually with a theme, such as 'The Big Top', with lots of clowns, jugglers and acrobats, when over 40 youngsters (and the helpers) enjoy a memorable few days.
