Confirmation Class 2026-2027

Confirmation Class is a two-year program recommended for students in 7th Grade or above. Through weekly classes, students learn why we believe what we believe as Christians. At the end of two years, students may decide to confirm their faith in the Rite of Confirmation.

If you had to summarize who the God of the universe is, what personality traits would you highlight? Yahweh has a lot to say in His Word about who He is, but He sums up His character in one jam-packed sentence in Exodus 34:6: compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness. Over the weekend, we’ll trace each of those traits through Israel’s story and ask what they mean for us as people who bear His image.
