Confirmation
What is Your Faith Story?
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation class is for youth in 8th grade and above. Details of the Christian faith are laid out, questions are invited, then decisions can be made! Confirmands will participate in weekly classes as well as several field trips, a weekend retreat, and mentoring meetings, with plenty of time to connect with each other!
Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31b-32
Testimonies
”I attended a few confirmation classes a few years ago but I decided I was not ready to confirm my faith yet I still needed a reason to confirm all of my beliefs. That reason came to me in December when I read the book “Unbroken”... it was then that I realized the power Jesus had to save people and I knew he could save me too… since then going through the confirmation process has answered a lot of my questions and further extended my faith in God.” Natalie
”Jesus died on the cross for us and I didn’t really understand what that meant. There was a verse that said Jesus died to let us into heaven and I was like, so that’s why he died, it was to let us into heaven which was the moment I knew I accepted God, I felt the spirit in my heart.” Owen
“If someone were to ask me about my faith a few months ago I don’t think I would have an answer… but now I really do feel more grounded and closer to God. I’m sure about my faith and I’ve accepted Jesus as my Savior and I put him in the center of my life every single day.” Kiera
“The moment I knew I wanted Jesus in my life was at the retreat when we all sang “Jesus at the Center”, I knew that I really wanted him at the center of my life. As soon as I came back to school I asked all of my friends if Jesus was at the center of their lives.” Adaugo
“I felt a connection with him at such a young age which meant that Jesus would be important to me in the future.” Derryl
“...on the very first day I was introduced to a verse that stuck out to me.. John 13:7. I always knew in my mind God had a plan for me but that’s when I knew it in my heart. That’s when I realized all the struggles I was going through would lead me to something better.” Abby
“I know that I will only learn more about God and what He has done for us as my life continues. Through my highs and lows He will be there for me whether I know it or not.” EV
“When my Mom told me about confirmation I knew I wanted to do it but I hesitated because I thought I wouldn’t know anyone… After the retreat I felt like I knew people and like I had friends. The retreat is where I feel like I found my faith through the discussions and the worship.” Arianna
