Confirmation

Confirmation prepares God’s children to make a life-long commitment to Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Classes meet Wednesdays at 6:00PM. Confirmation is for youth in grades 6 to 8.

Confirmation is a time when a young person is mature enough to make or confirm the promises that their parents and sponsors made for them when they were baptized.

At Messiah we use a large group/small group format.  First we meet as a large group.  Everyone enrolled in confirmation. Then the students meet in groups of 4-6. These are called teams. An adult (team leader)  meets with them to review and apply the lesson.  Team leaders are adults from the congregation who have a love for preteens and early teens. Our team leaders have had sons or daughters in the program, currently have a family members in the program or have children coming up into the program. 

Requirements for before confirmation include: sermon notes,  memory work and a family assignment.  Since we only cover a topic once in our three year program, the student will have a make up lesson if they miss a class.

We understand the busyness of today's family.  However, we ask that for this brief time in the young person's life that the parents and the students make Confirmation a priority.  

Orientation for all Confirmation students will be September 10th at 6PM.  

Registration fees will remain at $25.  If this is a hardship for your family please talk to Diane Meyer or Phyllis Grubb.  We are supplying each student with a Bible, a workbook, text book, a Bible marking kit, and a journal.  Students from previous years should have a journal. 

Please bring the registration form and medical release for with you on the first night.
