What is Confirmation?
Confirmation gives students the opportunity to own their faith in Jesus Christ. Confirmation is not the “end” of one’s faith journey, nor is it equivalent to salvation. Confirmation students affirm they are on a personal journey to know God more.
Most students participate in Confirmation in the 8th grade, but students in the 8th-12th grade are welcome. Our confirmation model will help students take greater ownership of their faith by encouraging and equipping them to live out the Greatest Commandment.
