The National Rite of Passage Council

A Collaboration of Christian Leaders across ethnic and denominational lines who are imagining a day when it is normal for Pastors to invite the Parents of their 12, 13 and 14-year-olds into a journey towards Spiritual and emotional adulthood. Like an Eagle Scout marrying a Bhat Mitzvah, a Christian Rite of Passage.

With unprecedented volumes of our kids leaving our churches and a deep understanding of what matters most in the passing on of our faith to the next generation, the National Rite of Passage Council and those affiliated want to change the course improving the Churches ability to build resilient followers of Jesus for a lifetime.

We exist to reignite the next generation to follow Jesus for a lifetime by equipping dads to engage their children in a proven and refreshing way.

The stats say the next generation is growing out of the church. We believe we can impact a generation to grow it. 

Our Path Forward

We offer a unique coming of age process that amplifies the spiritual formation of youth, families and their church.
