 Our Confirmation Program

Our 2014 Confirmation class with Penny Budzein and Pastor Mark.
Children enter the confirmation program in the 7th grade and after three years of study, completion of service projects and other activities, they are confirmed in front of the congregation. They confirm their faith that started with their baptism as a child.
