Rite 13 focuses on forming and nurturing community as youth participants and leaders explore the Bible, the Episcopal Church and other aspects of the Christian faith. Classes also help youth explore, affirm and prepare for adolescence. A new Rite 13 class is formed in September of every year with incoming 7th graders. At the end of their 7th grade year, the congregation celebrates the lives of these young people with the Rite 13 liturgy.
Confirmation. In the course of their Christian development, those baptized at an early age are expected, when they are ready and have been duly prepared, to make a mature public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism and to receive the laying on of hands by the Bishop.

Trinity Youth Mission Statement
Our calling as a community of faith is two-fold: First, to use our gifts and talents to nurture, guide and support our youth in developing faithful relationships with Christ. Second, counting on the grace and guidance of the Holy Spirit to empower our youth through Christian education, prayer, retreat, fellowship, mission and outreach and mentoring to grow into the full stature of Christ.
The mission of Christian formation in The Diocese of Upper South Carolina is to:
To Inspire
To promote experiences which build trust and inspire the development of foundational religious attitudes (for example, appreciation, compassion, learning, self-worth, respect, wonder, predictability). To nurture a personal passion for who and whose we are as the people of God and members of the body of Christ.
To Equip
To provide instruction in the basics of the faith (scripture, tradition, reason/experience, worship, sacraments of the Church) which will equip individuals to articulate their faith, to integrate their faith with everyday living, and minister as disciples of Christ.
To Empower
To guide people in identifying their gifts and claiming the authority for ministry as imparted through Holy Baptism. To help identify needs and opportunities for the exercise of ministry.
