 Confirmation (6th - 8th Grades) Minimize

Confirmation typically meets on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm.  For more information about confirmation please contact Chris Torgeson.


Excerpt from the 2009 Annual Report... 

It has been a whirlwind of a year! 6th Graders in confirmation continue to explore the Bible through the “Bible Boot Camp.” They spend the fall semester on the Old Testament and the spring semester on the New Testament. The 7th and 8th Graders spent this past spring studying the Lord’s Prayer—this study continued through the season of Lent. The 7th and 8th Graders began the fall with a deep look into the Apostle’s Creed before beginning a look at the sacrament of Holy Communion.
 
Currently we have 42 confirmation students who are led by 11 Confirmation Guides who share in this 3 year journey with the students. This essential piece of the journey could not be done without the dedication of these adult mentors!
 
The confirmation students had an evening of bonding at a lock-in this past fall. During the lock-in students had the opportunity to enjoy some food, fellowship and faith talks with their small groups.
 
This past fall we celebrated with 24 young people and 1 adult who affirmed their baptism and were confirmed in the faith. We celebrate in their journey and pray for continued support as they grow and explore in their ever-changing faith walk.
