Youth Christian
Formation
Journey to
Adulthood is an innovative spiritual formation program for young
people grades 6th though 12th, including three classes: Rite 13,
J2A, and Young Adults in Church (YAC). Classes meet on Sunday
morning at 10:15. The program is designed around 4 key areas: Self,
Sexuality/Gender, Spirituality and Society. Bringing scripture,
tradition, and reason together with experience, young people are
given tools and skills necessary for the Journey. For more
information contact Daniel Ciufi @ 892-3177.
Rite 13 (Grades 6 & 7): This material is based on a 2 year
celebration of “The Gift of Manhood or Womanhood”. It includes a
“Rite 13 Ceremony” which begins the process.
J2A (Grades 8 &9): Study becomes more serious during these
two years. Part of the curriculum includes preparation for
Confirmation.
Young Adults in the Church (Grades 10 -12, confirmed):
Emphasis in these two years is on Christian community and living out
the Baptismal Covenant. Time will be spent with a mentor learning
more about the various ministries in the church.
For more information about Journey to Adulthood, contact LaVondra
Dobbs (892-3177 or
ldobbs@christchurchcovington.com), who provides leadership for
this ministry.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is one of the Rites offered as part of
the Journey to Adulthood program (see above). Confirmation is a
mature decision of faith for which careful preparation is required.
