Confirmation is...

a period of intensive study about the Christian faith in preparation for full membership in the church. The class starts with the simple question “Is there a God?” and works its way through a brief overview of Christian theology, an outline of the Old and New Testaments, Church history, Christian living, and the development of a personal faith statement.

Confirmation is open to students in 7th grade or higher. The curriculum includes regular weekly homework assignments and several other projects, including making a confirmation banner, writing and presenting a statement of faith, attending and reporting on a worship service, and completing a written final exam.

Each confirmand will be assigned an adult sponsor (or mentor), whose responsibility it will be to pray for, encourage, and guide his or her confirmand through the process. Because the confirmation class is designed to challenge our youth to wrestle with their faith, and to deepen their knowledge and understanding of God, it is important to offer them guidance along the way. The sponsor, who is a member of our church, but not an immediate family member of the confirmand, serves in that capacity.
