Confirmation
Welcome to Confirmation! Confirmation is a time to prepare for the moment you will stand up in front of friends, family, and our church and say:
"Yes, I believe!". We meet on Wednesday nights at 6:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall during the school year.. During that time you will:
learn what the church believes
talk about what your family believes
listen to what your friends in Confirmation believe
and think about what YOU believe.
