Upcoming Youth Events

Confirmation is a two-year program open to persons in the 6^th through 8^th grade (and older if needed) who would like to explore becoming a professing Christian and a member of our church. Confirmation is not the beginning or the end of the faith journey. Confirmation is about an individual coming to the decision to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, and make the commitment to be the body of Christ, lived out by his/her prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness. It is a life-changing commitment that leads to transformation of heart and life. Confirmation is led by the three person team of Pastor Craig Collins, Jennifer Splichal and Sara Peterson. We will meet with students, mentors and parents on the first night, September 5. Come for supper at 5:30 and then we will meet at 6:00 pm to go over the expectations, schedules and curriculum. Mentors are needed! We want each youth to have a mentor, whom they will meet with weekly. The purpose of a mentor is to develop a relationship with their confirmand in order to talk about life and faith. Mentors will be seasoned Christians who effectively demonstrate their faith. Mentors will meet weekly with the confirmand to discuss highlights of the lesson and any questions that may arise. The mentor will reflect upon their own faith journey, knowledge and experiences. They will support their confirmand in prayer and encourage them in their faith journey. Contact Pastor Craig if you are interested in serving the church in this way.
