Confirmation
Pastors and members provide formal instruction for three years prior to confirmation. Confirmation instruction starts in the sixth grade and children are confirmed in the spring of their eighth grade year.
Typically, these are hour-long sessions held on a Sunday afternoon for about ten weeks. During the first year, the children learn the Ten Commandments and their meaning. The second year, the Lord’s Prayer is the focus of study. The third year emphasizes the Apostles' Creed. The Christian Education Committee sponsors a banquet for Confirmands and their families the Saturday evening before the Sunday when their baptismal vows are re-affirmed in Confirmation.
