Celebrating over
Twenty years!

“In 2003, God laid on my heart a desire to open a preschool at Trinity. Dan Weidman was our Assistant Pastor, and I spoke with him about the idea. At the same time, Esther Gregory also had approached Dan about a preschool. The three of us met throughout the following year to create the framework for a great preschool. With the ideas in place, the Trinity Church Elders approved the preschool and the hiring of Amanda Murphy and me as Co-Directors. Our first class combined seventeen three and 4-year-old children with three staff members. 

Over the last 20-plus years, we have grown to a staff of 11 and an enrollment of 54 children or more annually. We have been intentional in getting to know our preschoolers and their families and in walking alongside them during their time with us and beyond. We have written down our God sightings since we opened our doors, and the paper is full! God had been abundantly faithful to us, and we have felt His presence, guidance, and love. Trinity Preschool does not belong to the community, Trinity, or even the staff, but Trinity Preschool belongs to Him.”
