Youth Confirmation Program 2026-2027
Sundays, Sep 20 - May 30

OVERVIEW AND CURRICULUM

Our inspiring and educational Confirmation program prepares 8th grade students — older students are welcome — for the rite of Confirmation, a liturgy in which baptized Christians affirm their faith and make a mature, public commitment to a life in Christ.

Open to all Christian denominations, the program is led by Josh Barton (Director of Youth Ministry),
Rev. Tim Hamlin, and Rev. Elly Withers Kumar. Our program includes community service, fun activities, and conversations about faith in a safe, inclusive atmosphere where questions are not only accepted, but encouraged.

The cost for the 2026 - 2027 Confirmation program year is $250 per student and is due at the time of registration. Scholarships are available.
