Trinity United Church of Christ was struggling with finding enough kids for its children's hand bell and choral choirs. The Rev. David L. Carnell, then music minister at the church said there were two choices: scrap them or build an entirely new program. The result was Kidz Beat! (Kids Bridging Education and the Artz at Trinity), a successful after-school arts program for children in grades one through six. The program, which is offered in two, 10-week sessions, offers a dozen courses in music, choral instruction, drama, culinary and more.

Who should attend

Faith Formation Volunteers, Faith Formation Church Staff, Church Musicians, Pastors, Parents, Faith Formation and Music committee and ministry team members or anyone desiring to involve more children and families in a meaningful way in the life of their faith community.
