Journey to Adulthood

Rite-13 (Grades 6 & 7), J2A (Grades 8 & 9), and YAC (Grades 10, 11 & 12)

Trinity uses a wonderful program for teens called Journey to Adulthood. The program’s underlying theme is that adulthood is earned or learned, that manhood and womanhood are gifts from God, and we choose how we use our creative power, not only to create life but also to shape the world according to God's purpose.  The young people meet on Sunday mornings from 10-10:45 a.m. and twice a month, outside of class for a variety of social activities building community through fellowship.  The Journey to Adulthood program uses scripture and real life issues to explore their faith.  This year our program begins with 7th grade.  The Journey to Adulthood program celebrates young people turning 13, supports families of teens, as well as working on life skills of planning a trip, and preparing for a spiritual pilgrimage. Near the end of high school, the young people explore vocation and ministry in the church and are empowered to reach out and serve (Episcopal Youth Event, July 2011).

In addition, the youth are invited to participate in such diocesan events as New Beginnings, Happening, Acolyte Festival, Mission Camp, Guitar Weekend, Girls’ Weekend, Diocesan Convention Youth Lock-in, and summer camps at St. Crispin's, our diocesan Retreat Center. Involvement is available at regional and national youth events.

Ultimately we hope to provide a strong foundation from which the youth of Trinity can see and serve Christ in all persons and consequently live a life of compassion.
