Journey to Adulthood
The Journey to Adulthood is a complete youth ministry program of spiritual formation for 6th - 12th grades. It uses Bible study, prayer, rites of passage, outreach ministries and both serious and playful activities to underscore its core messages of 1) manhood and womanhood are free gifts from God, and 2) Adulthood must be earned. There are three segments of the program:
Rite 13 (11-12-13 year olds)
The first three years (6th through 8th grades) focus on celebrating the individuality of each young person and their creative potential. The Rite-13 liturgy (A celebration of Manhood and Womanhood) is the community expression of this. Youth begin to explore the vision of Christ Church and how they can use their gifts by doing Christ Jesus’ work through a variety of ministries.
J2A (14-15-16 year olds)
The middle portion of the program engages youth with the skills and critical thinking involved in adulthood. In addition to the J2A program, youth participate in a 10 week session of Youth Alpha. We are working to equip our youth with tools that will strengthen their knowledge of God and his work in the world. While helping them to communicate and work well with others. Youth explore skills in prayer, bible study, awareness of the Holy Spirit in their lives, and fulfilling their baptismal promise.
YAC (17 and 18 year olds)
A mentor-based program helping older teens to discern and carry out a ministry within their church or in the larger community. Vocation and development of a personal credo are also emphasized.
Youth Group of Christ Church
All three levels of the Journey to Adulthood work together as the Youth Group of Christ Church.
Teens work together within our church, local community, and worldwide by taking part in Worship, Fellowship, Education, Outreach and Evangelism activities that bring themselves and the world closer to Christ Jesus.
