The goals of our confirmation program are to:

Deepen youth understanding of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Equip youth to make an "I" commitment to Christian Discipleship.

Information regarding confirmation is mailed to youth and their families in August of the summer between 8th and 9th grade. A meeting to share information about confirmation is held in September.

The main components of the confirmation process include:

Anchor Events: involve all confirmation youth, the pastor, and confirmation coordinator in full-group experiences. These include the "kick-off" event, the retreat, and confirmation weekend activities.
Seminar Sessions: Monthly seminars that youth attend with adult mentors. Topics for the seminars include the Bible, God, the Church, Spiritual Disciplines, and ministry. Each seminar is scheduled at two different times in the month, to allow flexibility in when mentors and youth attend.
Mentor and Youth Meetings: Each confirmation youth is paired with an active adult member of the congregation. Mentors and youth communicate on a weekly basis, working on seminar session follow-up activities, prayer support, and other activities designed to expose youth to multiple dimensions of discipleship.
Service projects and experiences of the wider church: Youth work with mentors to fulfill requirements for service and wider church experiences.

Families or youth with question about the confirmation process should speak to the senior pastor, the Rev. Joy Barrett, or our coordinator for confirmation, the Rev. Shawn Lewis-Lakin. Contact either through the church office.
