LEarning. Service. fellowship. WORSHIP
These four areas of ministry are major facets in the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ. During Confirmation, students learn to make these facets a part of their own lives. The goals of the Confirmation ministry are that students come to affirm their Baptismal faith, become equipped to live as disciples in the world, develop a Christian community of peers and adults, and connect faith with life. This will be taught using re:form curriculum from Spark House. Questions? Contact Pastor Sarah or Lakyn Muilenburg.
