YOUTH
Here at St James we have a bunch of teenagers who are active in every part of the church's life. Coming from six different school districts, they spend time together in church, in our education program, J2A, and in outreach projects.
EDUCATION
Our youth program for kids in grades 7 through 11, Journey to Adulthood (J2A), runs concurrently with the Godly Play program for children. Teens leave the church immediately after they receive communion, and go to their classroom on the lower level of the education wing.
CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is the ritual in which as (young) adults we take on the vows made on our behalf in baptism. To be eligible, candidates must be active members of the congregation, at least 16 years of age (or turning 16 by the date of confirmation), and participate in confirmation preparation classes. Teenagers are also expected to participate for at least a school year in our J2A program.
