The Confirmation program prepares 9th grade students to become full adult members of the congregation.  Students learn more about their relationship with God, what it means to be a Presbyterian and how they can be involved in the church community.  Participation in Confirmation does not mean students must join the church, but if after prayerful consideration they are ready to take that step, they will be confirmed at the end of the program year.

About the Curriculum

Last year, an exciting new program, Making Disciples, was introduced. Once a month, students and their parents gather together for dinner and class.  Rev. Dennis Jones meets with the students, digging deeper into the topics they have been discussing during the month or others not covered by the curriculum, while parents meet in another room, reviewing the same topics, asking questions, and listening to presentations relevant to their role as parents.

During the rest of the month, students meet in small groups of two or three with a mentor, using the curriculum material provided by the program.  Among other things, the groups are reading the book of Luke together.  These small groups may also attend worship together and participate in hands-on mission opportunities.

If you are interested in learning more about the Confirmation program, please contact Rev. Dennis Jones.
