Confirmation is that wonderful time in a student's life, when beliefs, Biblical truths and the life of the church is examined. Through the guidance of the pastor and a personal mentor, often selected by the student, identity in the church is confirmed. The public act of confirmation is the student's declaration that they confirm what their parents did for them in baptism.
If you have a child who is in 7th - 12th grade who has not been confirmed and would like more information about future classes - please send us an email or call the church at 859.441.2565.
