WHAT IS CONFIRMATION?

The word “confirmation” literally means “to make firm.” Confirmation seeks to make firm that which has gone before. It is closely linked to (and dependent on) what has taken place in the individual’s life already, including God’s grace, the sacrament of baptism, the Christian nurture provided by the parents and the home, and the Christian nurture provided by the faith community. 

WHAT IS THE CONFIRMATION CLASS OR PROGRAM?

• The purpose of a confirmation class or program is to prepare the person to respond to God’s grace and to take up the responsibilities of Christian discipleship. This preparation is not just information, but formational.
• The class will cover what it means to be a Christian, what we believe as a church, how we are to live our lives, what our church history and heritage are and more!
• Our church believes sixth graders are old enough to contribute to the life of our congregation and to live out their faith in the world.

Start Date is Sunday, August 10 during the 9:30 AM Sunday School hour. Class meets on the main campus, east side above the gym. There is a shuttle bus running all morning for those with family at the West Campus. 

Here is what we need from you to get started, please register your new sixth grader so that we know who is considering participating. REGISTER YOUR NEW SIXTH GRADER HERE.

**Just a reminder that incoming sixth graders continue attending the older elementary Sunday School classes on both campuses at 9:30 AM.  West Campus is located in the Adult Ministry Center and Main Campus is located on the second floor above the school in the back. We always need teachers, even during the Summer!
