The Faith Weavers Grades 4 and 5    Here

An exciting and interactive Church School program is provided for our children using the “Seasons of the Spirit” curriculum.  This is a creative and comprehensive teaching tool that lays the building blocks on which children can grow in their Christian faith and apply it to their world today.  This curriculum is also based on the Episcopal

Liturgy.  In this Sunday School Class, the children will have lots of fun with crafts, storytelling, games, music, puppets, scripture and prayer.

Rite-13 Ages 11 to 13

For middle school students, Journey to Adulthood's multiyear youth ministry is designed to build community and faith. To help our youth grow toward adulthood they are taught Bible stories that relate to their self, society, sexuality, and spirituality. Classes are based on Bible study, discussion, fun activities, food, and building friendships with each other and with our mentors. As members of the group turn 13, there is a semi-formal dinner and reception for the class and families followed by the Celebration of Manhood and Womanhood that takes place at our worship service, acknowledging a new step toward adulthood.

J2A - Journey to Adulthood

For our middle and high school students, “Journey to Adulthood,” a two part, multiyear youth ministry curriculum, designed to build community and faith, is used.  To help our youth grow toward adulthood they are taught Bible stories that relate to their self, society, sexuality and spirituality.  Classes are based on Bible study, discussion, fun activities, food and building friendships with each other and with their mentors.  As the Rite 13 group reaches their 13th birthday, there is a semi-formal dinner and reception for the class and families followed by the Celebration of Manhood and Womanhood that takes place at our worship service, acknowledging a new step toward adulthood. For the older group, Confirmation preparation is typically included in their first year of J2A also. Teachers for this program are known as mentors.
