Confirmation is an important milestone along our spiritual journeys.  It is an opportunity to respond to the grace of God available to us, as acknowledged in baptism, and to promise to live as a person of faith.

Through the classes provided by the church, students reflect on their faith and relationship with Christ.  Students generally meet weekly during the school year with a group of their peers, some adult leaders, and their pastor.  When the classes are complete, the youth stand before their congregation, renew their baptismal vow, and receive a blessing from the church.  They are given the opportunity to become full members of the local congregation.

Confirmation is not simply a destination.  It is a pit stop, a place where we renew our commitment to the journey we have been traveling under the care of others.  It is also a time for the local congregation to celebrate their young people’s faith and commitment to live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ and to renew their commitment to do the same.
