What is Confirmation?

Confirmation is a 9 month program. It is a special time when students will learn and experience the Christian faith. Students will learn about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and how to be a committed disciple of Christ.

Confirmation Program

Confirmation is much more than classroom instruction. It is a comprehensive youth program that includes retreats, socials, field trips, mission projects, and special worship services. Many of these components are reflected in the class curriculum.

Confirmation Dates

Confirmation class begins Sunday, September 7th, 2008. Our class will continue to meet every Sunday evening from 4:30pm til 5:45pm  through May 10th 2009. Each week includes a large group session and small group time where students can get closer to others and process what they have learned in a more intimate setting. Confirmation class will culminate on Sunday, May 17th, 2009 during a Confirmation Worship Service.


Expectations

The Confirmation program is a comprehensive package of classes and events. It is important that participants be involved in activities and events, not just Sunday morning classes. There are planned retreats, mid-week groups and social gatherings.

We require a 75% physical attendance to Confirmation class. If a class has to be missed, confirmands will have an option for making up their absence.

Make-up Lessons: Students will have the opportunity to make-up missed classes by attending a monthly session held on the 1st Wednesday of each month from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the Worship Center. Attending a makeup session will count towards their “physical attendance” requirement.

In addition to a physical presence, students are expected to bring a bible every Sunday. We feel this will enhance the class for every student.

There will also be a class offering taken every Sunday. During the year, the confirmation class will decide together how to spend their offering. For example, the class could decided to purchase a basketball goal for the church, buy school supplies for an orphanage in Israel or help support Creekwood Student Missions.

We also expect students to memorize the following by May 10, 2009:

­The 10 Commandments

­The Lord’s Prayer

­The books of the Bible

­The Apostles Creed

­The Golden Rule

Cost

There is a one time $155.00 Confirmation fee that covers the cost for retreats, a confirmation T-Shirt, curriculum and expenses for Confirmation events. Social outings are optional and not included in this fee. Scholarships will be available.
