Confirmation

2024 Confirmation Class

Confirmation is a chance for those in 9th grade and above to think through the Christian faith on their own terms. Built around weekend retreats, key Scriptures, and a statement of faith, this is your chance to be honest and challenge yourself. What do you really believe?
