Our Values:
Inviting – We want to be a ministry where students can confidently invite friends and provide an inclusive environment that welcomes newcomers.
Nurturing – We desire to create deep relationships and a safe, supportive environment to nurture sharing, honesty, and openness.
Growing – We hope to create the expectation of always growing in faith and knowledge both as individuals and as a group.
Serving – We value the sharing of time, talents, and gifts as we joyfully demonstrate the compassion of Christ to all.
Christ-Centered – We seek to be guided by the power and pattern of Jesus in everything we do.
Confirmation:
Confirmation is an 8 month program for incoming 6th grade students. During this time, they will meet together with a group of adult leaders to explore the basic tenets of the Christian faith, ask and grapple with their questions, and learn what it means to become a fully devoted follower of Christ.
In April, Confirmands will have the opportunity in a church-wide service to respond to the grace of God available to us, as acknowledged in baptism, and commit to live as a person of faith.
If you have any questions about Confirmation, contact Abby Owens.
