Do the big questions in life leave you scratching your head? Do you ever wonder about Jesus, the Bible, prayer, church, and more? Then confirmation is for you! This is a time for 8th grade students (high school students are also welcome) to discuss and question what this whole Jesus thing is really about! Confirmation for youth is a half-year process of self-discovery and affirming of faith through interactive scripture engagement, mentorship, service, and relationship building.
According to The Episcopal Church, confirmation is “the sacramental rite in which the candidates “express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop” (BCP, p. 860). Adults baptized with the laying on of hands by a bishop are considered to be confirmed.” The program outlined below is open to students in Grade 8 and above. Adults seeking confirmation should consult a member of the clergy.
Full information may be found in this confirmation parent guide.
