Milestone Seven: Rite of Passage
Grades 9-10
Grades 9-10
Equipping your Teenager for Biblical Adulthood
The passing of a child into adulthood is a significant event. Biblically, we must equip our children to become men and women of God. Age 16 is a significant time of freedom in our culture. Rite of Passage is not about keys to the car; instead, it is about becoming a man or woman of God. In this seminar we will equip you to disciple your freshmen and sophomore students for adulthood. Issues such as spiritual gifts, the roles of men and women, spiritual disciplines, service in the church, dealing with failure, and other Biblical issues will be explored both in your family devotion and youth ministries. We teach parents to host a very special “Rite of Passage” ceremony as the discipleship process has been completed and the student enters his or her 16th year of life.

Milestone Eight: Launching with Purpose
Grades 11-12
Grades 11-12
Launching your Teenager to be a Lifelong Follower of Christ
Between the ages of 16 and 18, parents must help their students develop the practical and spiritual skills to leave home. This seminar teaches parents how to prepare their students for the world outside of the nest. This can be a very healthy time in the family journey if parents continue to keep the lines of communication open with their students. Issues such as basic apologetics, dating and marriage, determining the will of God, life skills for living away from home, and other biblical issues will be explored both in family devotions and in family and youth ministries. We teach parents to write out a spiritual blessing for their child to be presented just before graduation. These important years of discipleship are our last chance to shape the faith of our children before they are on their own.
