Educate ~ Innovate ~ Create

Historically family and community was a stable and permanent fixture in supporting faith life and faith choices.  That is now the exception rather than the rule.  Many adults don’t make permanent faith commitments until well into their lives.  Youth today are growing up fast.  Whereas High School was a key time in intercepting youth who were struggling to stay involved in the Church, that now happens in Middle School.   So much competes for their time and interest.  STATIC is a force in challenging the youth to recognize the call of God within their lives and to begin to take responsibility for their own faith life since many parents are no longer committed to this end.

STATIC, Students Taking Action Together In Christ, is a multi-dimensional program that incorporates the best elements of catechetical curriculum and Youth Ministry concepts.  Recognizing the unique growth and developmental needs of Middle School pre-adolescents, STATIC leads students toward personal ownership of their faith while providing solid structure and training for the adults who lead them.  

Using the eight principles of Youth Ministry as outlined by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in their document:  Renewing  the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry as a guide,  STATIC has eight essential concepts as it’s foundation. 

They are:

• Christ Center 
• Bible Based
• Eucharistic People
• Service to Others
• Church Doctrine
• Community of Believers
• Prayer
• Participation

Developed and written by seasoned catechists STATIC provides for all your needs:

• Textbook Materials
• Catechist Guides
• Journals
• Retreat 
• Large Group Events and Activities
• Whole Community Catechesis

It has been said that Middle School, 6th, 7^th, and 8^th grade, is the forgotten Church.  Often because of the challenging nature of pre-adolescence, there is little offered that respects their unique learning styles and personality, in the way of faith experiences.  STATIC challanges students in a way that will be fun, unforgettable and most importantly fill their faith based needs.

The Owner

The STATIC WAY:

Education: 

With the goal of helping each child in the process of “Becoming,” the STATIC Solutions way of learning involves creatively engaging youth in topics, thereby fostering a creative environment where they feel safe to express ideas and opinions, allowing them to grow in their faith.  The current process of education involves stagnant educational models leaving children disenfranchised from their faith development process.  The STATIC Solutions way allows the child to “Become,” which uses his or her own developmental processes to engage in questions, comments, and concerns thereby leading to a deeper faith.

Partner Support and Certification: 

STATIC Solutions will also offer a certification program for the educators and administrators of the program. This certification program would be built around the STATIC model of programming and delivery.  Participants would gain competencies in the different delivery methods and in educational methods along with a strong theology background.  The company will offer the certification in the different delivery methods listed above, which requires an on-site visit and review.

STATIC Solutions was founded for a specific purpose:  as a response to a requests to revamp the entire educational program for students grades six to eight.  The Company has evolved into a multifaceted organization with the overriding mission of getting kids to own their faith.  Rather than a painful topic pushed on to them by their parents, the STATIC Solutions style of programming inspires kids to learn on their own.  Consequently, students have fun and look forward to the activity-intensive environment that STATIC Solutions curriculum creates.
