Journey to Adulthood (J2A)

8th and 9th grade students
Journey to Adulthood follows Rite 13 and is at the heart of our youth program. 
During the J2A program, teens learn and practice six basic skills for adulthood:
  • active listening
  • negotiation
  • assertion
  • research & information management
  • partnership
  • leadership
In addition, teens learn different methods of interpreting the Scripture, prayer and community-building.
After completing these two years of their spiritual growth and development, they are given an opportunity to declare their desire to become autonomous members of the Episcopal community through the rite of Confirmation.
In celebration of their full commitment to Christian discipleship, the youth plan and embark on a pilgrimage together at the end of this segment.
