Confirmation
Confirmation is a Christian education program for youth in grade 8 and older who have not yet been confirmed (become members of the church).
Classes are held on Sunday evenings from February through November and include a companion parent class. Students meet in small groups with adult leaders and high school mentors who have completed confirmation, called ex-cons. The program includes a spring retreat, summer opportunities for service projects, congregational care visits, and mission trips, with a special Confirmation Sunday celebration in November.
Confirmation 2024 begins with orientation on February 4th, includes a retreat March 1st – 3rd, and Confirmation Sunday on November 17, 2024.
Mission Trips
Part of our mission is to love our neighbor and serve the common good. One of the ways we do that is through our Youth Service Trips.
Every year we have the opportunity to go on a number of trips.
