Youth
Ministry/Programs
At
Christ Church, our children are a vital part of our
parish. We
encourage our youth to participate in all
aspects of
our worship and service to the community.
In addition
we consider providing Christian education
and ministry
to our youth of all ages imperative to
helping
them develop mentally and spiritually.
Our
youth ministry and programs include:
Sunday
School
Our Church education
programs use the Episcopal Children's
Curriculum.
Sunday School is provided for children and youth
in the following
age groups:
Nursery
Infant to 3 years old
Preschool/Kindergarten
3 to 5 years old
Primary
1st through 3rd grade
Intermediate
4th through 6th grade
J2A/Rite
13
This is a multi-year,
multi-step, program that incorporates
bible
study, Christian education and volunteering programs
designed to
help our youth make the transition from childhood
to adulthood.
The program is open to those who are 11 years
old.
The first stage called J2A (Journey to Adult) continues
until they
reach 13 years of age.
The second
stage of the program called Rite 13 is for
13 to 15
year olds and culminates in their confirmation
and acknowledgement
as full-fledged adult member of our
church.
This program has a well-developed curriculum focused
on the challenges
faced by young adults and endeavors to give
them good
tools to deal with this exciting and sometimes difficult
time in their
lives. The program recognizes and addresses the
importance
of this transition to adulthood in it's many facets, and
also serves
to keep the young people involved in the life of the
church.
We at Christ Church are particularly excited about offering
the
J2A/Rite 13 program to our youth.
Acolytes
Our youth assist
the clergy and lay worship leaders during
worship services,
by being torchbearers and as crucifers who
are
responsible for carrying the processional cross.
Junior
Choir
Christ Church’s
Junior Choir performs for special events
throughout
the year.
