Confirmation
Confirmation is a journey into adult spiritual development. Surrounded and supported by the church community, students are given instruction on core topics of doctrine, polity, and theology as they practice and apply their faith in the real world. The class is designed for 9th grade students, but students may participate in Confirmation at a different age if it is determined by the parents and the youth pastor to be appropriate for that student.
Each class begins with a shared meal provided by one of the students' families. All components of the program are mandatory. If a student has to miss a component of the class, make-up components will be made available to them. All Sunday classes will be held in the Youth Room, 11:30-1:30
