Confirmation 

This class is offered to give students entering 7th or 8th grade an overview of the Christian faith culminating in a personal affirmation of their faith in Jesus Christ. In class we discuss topics such as knowing God, understanding God as Father, Son, and Spirit; discipleship, Christian disciplines (such as prayer and worship) and the history of the worldwide church. We also take field trips in order to experience a variety of different worship experiences. Older teens who have not yet had the opportunity to participate in a Confirmation class are also welcome.   Below is our 2010 Confirmation Class!  Our 2012 Class is currently meeting!

Our 2010 Confirmation Class

New Wednesday Night Program

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” ~ Matthew 11:28-30 NRSV

Our faith family invites you to come on Wednesday nights and find rest from the demands and expectations of everyday life. The evening begins with a free dinner: no cost, no dishes, no requirements, just a chance to fellowship with your family. After dinner there are opportunities for the whole family including: two different classes for adults, two Bell choirs (one for 5th-8th grade and another for adults), games and activities for ages K-4th grade and 5th-8th grade, and an open study hall for high schoolers. Everything begins September 14th, and a full list of events and times are below.

Come join us, as we rest in God’s love and grow as disciples of Jesus!
