CUW at Trinity

Explore Trinity

Grow in His Word. Serve in His World. Join in His Mission. Together.

At Trinity, we believe college is more than academics — it’s a season of deep formation, discovery, and calling. As CUW students, you bring energy, talent, and a heart for service that strengthens our church, school, and childcare ministries. We’re honored to walk alongside you during this chapter of your journey.

Whether you’re looking to worship, volunteer, complete clinical hours, find flexible childcare jobs, or connect through Bible study and retreats — there’s a place for you here. Trinity offers a vibrant, welcoming community where your gifts are valued and your faith can flourish.

This isn’t just a church you can attend — it’s a community you can belong to, serve with, and grow in. From Sunday School classrooms to service projects, music to maintenance, CUW students are woven into the life of our ministry. And while you’re serving others, we’re here to pour into you — through meaningful relationships, mentoring, and opportunities to be refreshed in God’s Word.

So whether you’re seeking purpose, people, or just a place to land between classes — you’ve found it. Welcome to Trinity. We can’t wait to connect with you.

Jobs Opportunities

The caregiver serves Christ by laying a foundation for a child’s understanding of who Jesus is.  From a heart that is devoted to the Lord and deeply loves children, he or she partners with parents and other Childcare team members to embody the love of Christ with particular attention to faith development. The caregiver supports a classroom environment in which the love of Jesus permeates all activities and interactions in pursuit of social, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth.

 

Our Childcare Center is open Monday – Friday 7:00 am – 5:00 pm. Contact childcare@trinityfreistadt.com if you are interested.

We partner with parents by providing after-school activities for our students, so that they can pick up their child(ren) at a time that works with their schedules. Our caregivers are dedicated to making sure that children have fun and that our care is not a duplicate of their school day. Children are given help with homework and there are ample opportunities for creative, recreational and restful activities. Daily group devotion and snack time begin each after-school session, followed by exciting indoor and outdoor activities.

Trinity’s Wrap Around Care (WAC) program provides Trinity parents with the flexibility to use care services before the school day begins and after the school day ends.

  • 7:00 am – 7:30 am
  • 3:05 pm – 5:00 pm
