How It All Started
Adventure Catholic was created as a solution to one of the biggest problems that face the Catholic Church today…the loss of members in young adulthood. Our unique COPEC Leadership Formation Training Method helps keep teens stay connected with the church, not only in their youth, but throughout their lives. And not just connected – but connected as intentional disciples who actively patricipate in their faith life regularly without being told to do so!
Turning Sheep Into Shepherds
Our Passion is helping not only teens, but parents, youth ministers, priests, teachers, catechists, and anyone who cares about the future of the Catholic Church. In 2010 we decided it was time to change the culture youth, so we experimented, tweaked, and came up with a proven method for unlocking the inner leader that seems to be trapped within young people called the COPEC Method. Young people face negative peer pressure, insecurity, doubt, uncertainty, and fear. Adventure Catholic created a way to help them confront those struggles, and we want to share that method with you so you can continue to work in confidence that you are bringing the best to your young people.
