The purpose of Confirmation is to provide young people in the church (seventh grade and above) instruction in the Christian faith. This culminates in the rite of Confirmation where the person accepts Christ as their personal Savior and allows them to join the full responsibilities of membership in the Christian church. The Pastor and the Christian Education Ministry will plan and conduct the Confirmation classes and the Confirmation ceremony. Upon completion of the classes each person makes their own decision on whether or not to become a full member of the church.
