Rite-13 (from the Journey to Adulthood Program) – This two-year program celebrates the individuality of each young teen and his/her creative potential, while exploring Biblical stories of God and God’s people. A foundational piece of this program is a special Rite-13 liturgy that serves as a rite of passage from childhood towards adulthood (akin to a bar- or bat-mitzvah) and is celebrated by and amidst the congregation in the spring. Meet the teacher, Allison Harmon.
J2A (from the Journey to Adulthood Program) – This two-year program picks up where Rite-13 leaves off and helps teens create and understand the importance of Christian community as they develop critical thinking and other skills they will need in adulthood. The end of the first year is marked by an “urban adventure”/outreach experience and/or an overnight retreat. The end of the second year is marked with a spiritual pilgrimage, planned and executed by the group, that is often a life-changing experience for all involved. Meet the teachers, Stephanie and Allen Brizee

Confirmation is a rite of passage in the Episcopal church, a sacrament celebrated in the presence of a bishop that marks the transition from childhood to adulthood. The class and the sacrament get their name from the action of confirming the promises that were made for a child at his or her baptism. The confirmand is prepared for this transition at Redeemer, usually when he or she is 15 years old, by taking part in twice a month class on Sunday mornings, serving the church through being an acolyte, choir member, or Sunday School helper, and completing a community service project. The experience is summarized in a portfolio of collected responses, which are presented in the spring with other confirmands at a community meal.
