Our confirmation program begins as students begin the 7th grade and continue throughout the program year through their 9th grade year. The group meets at 7:00 PM on Wednesday evenings in a large group setting until about 7:30 when the group goes into their small groups with their small group leaders for in-depth discussion about the topic of the week. This small group time usually begins with sharing of Highs and Lows from the past week and prayer following the small group discussion. These small groups remain intact throughout the entire confirmation experience, creating a safe environment for sharing and support through the mentoring process. Pastor Mike oversees the confirmation program, which is structured using numerous resources.

The season of spiritual growth really begins when the 9th grade confirmation students make public declaration of their faith story in late May (see details below) or early June immediately prior to the end of program reception, which is held in the Fellowship Hall around the Day of Pentecost.
