The Journey to Adulthood curriculum is a national ministry of spiritual formation for young people. It balances Bible study and prayer with serious and playful activities to nurture the whole person during the passage from childhood to adulthood. 

Faith is not “learned about,” but experienced through the worshiping, learning, and serving practices of a community in which the youth are nurtured. We use our weekly Scripture readings, fellowships, rites of passage, and outreach ministries to live and teach life lessons with an eye toward the young people growing into the responsibilities and ownership of an adult life of mature faith.

There are three 2-year segments of the youth program: Rite-13, J2A, and YAC (Young Adults in Church). Youth spend six years paired with another grade, moving with the same youth all the way through. We have seven years of youth, but because our curriculum is only six years, each year we have one group that stands on its own; either the 6th grade or the 12th grade. For the 2022-2023 school year, our seniors will stand alone — “Seniors With An Awesome God.” (In alternate years, we have "Breakfast Club" for 6th graders.) See below for more details.
