JOURNEY TO ADULTHOOD

Classes for 6th to 12th graders run September-May.  Classes for take place on the 3rd floor. All classes are from 10:00am to 10:45am.

The Journey to Adulthood program's underlying theme is that adulthood is earned or learned.  We form a safe community in which they can explore issues of spirituality, society, self, and sexuality though the context of scripture, reason and tradition of the Episcopal Church.  These groups meet Sunday morning and a couple of times a month outside of church for activities, service projects and more.
