Coming of Age at FirstU
For the most part, children identify with the faith beliefs of their parents and family but, as you move out of childhood, you start to develop your own perspectives on the nature of the world and your places in it. At FirstU, the Coming of Age program gives people ages 12-14 the time and space to deeply explore those unique beliefs. It signals the beginning of individual spiritual searching, and is an official recognition that you've begun to search for personal truth.
Our spiritual identities can grow and change over time. Maybe you already have some fairly concrete ideas about the nature of the cosmos and your place in it, and would like the opportunity to dig more deeply into those thoughts. Maybe you're just starting to dip your toes into exploring what all of this might mean. Either way, this program is for you, so you can explore and develop your personal truths in a supportive group setting in a supportive environment with people your own age.
How It Works
Coming of Age starts on February 12, 2023 and runs through the end of April. Over the course of the program, you'll be paired with a mentor and, through retreats, workshops, guest speaker visits, and discussions, you'll develop your personal understanding of what YOU believe.
At the end of the program, you'll get to put those beliefs into words – or dance or music – as an individual statement of your faith.
Interested?
