J2A (Journey to Adulthood)

J2A is the heart of the program and follows Rite 13. After two years in Rite-13, young people move into the core program: Journey to Adulthood. In J2A leaders blend action and contemplation in teaching young people. The goals are simple; the task is complex and demanding. Young adults are given an opportunity to be confirmed. They are recognized as young adults, rather than children, and invited to make a holy pilgrimage.

YAC (Young Adults in the Church)

Young Adults in the Church encourages older youth to take on adult responsibilities in all aspects of parish life. Guided by adult advisors, they use the Anglican model of Scripture, reason, and tradition of the Church to guide the lifelong pilgrimage in their faith.
