Confirmation
Confirmation is a very important step in one’s faith journey. This journey begins with baptism when one is welcomed into the family of faith. On the day when one is baptized, we celebrate God’s unconditional love for them. Their families make a sacred promise to raise them in the Christian faith and help them grow in their understanding and appreciation of God’s unconditional love. Over the years their Pastors & Sunday school teachers also share their faith with them and when they are in 8th grade, they are invited to take this important step.
As part of the confirmation program, confirmands attend classes, are connected with a mentor, offer their times and talents for stewardship and service, and go on field trips to deepen their faith.
Classes
Our confirmands spend 10 weeks together in weekly classes where they get an overview of the Bible and then dive deeper into the Old Testament & New Testament and then learn about Lent, church history, how the church works, and lots more. The goal is to equip our students with a deep understanding of the roots of our tradition. From the stories of creation to the inner workings of the modern church, we ensure our confirmands have a firm grasp on the 'why' behind what we believe.
Who said the Bible had to be boring?
We try to make our classes fun and interactive so that the confirmands want to come but also so they’ll remember what they learned. Can you tell which Bible stories they’re working on here?
