Confirmation education begins in 3rd grade and culminates with Affirmation of Faith in 10th grade. Those in 3rd grade receive First Communion instruction, 6th graders attend a retreat focusing on Baptism and 7th graders attend a retreat focusing on the Lord's Prayer.
Grades 8 and 9 meet every Wednesday September-May in small groups led by adult Group Guides. All the information you need for this year's confirmation program is posted below in printable format. Click each link to access the information. "Expectations" will tell you about our confirmation program and what students need to do. "Sermon Notes" is the sermon notes sheet which you can print out and take with you when visiting another church.
