Welcome to Confirmation

The curriculum resources this year will be: Here We Stand, TalkPoints Confirmation, and 

“Big Questions” from Reform. 

Group learning—Sunday evenings, twice per month, per the schedule below. Dinner at 5:30pm. Parents will rotate providing the meal. Learning time 6-7pm. Depending on volunteers available, a hybrid method via Zoom may be offered.

TalkPoints/Bible Story Discussion—one week per month.

Here We Stand Lesson—one online lesson per month.

Mentor program (formerly Prayer Partners)—Chosen by the student and their family. Pastor can provide suggestions and assistance, if needed. Mentors are scheduled to meet 4-5 times during group learning/fellowship activities, and are expected to meet outside of class using the TalkPoints book.

Service opportunities will also be planned and coordinated by parents and offered to the group.

As a group, we will reassess the format in November and determine if any modifications are needed. We look forward to this exciting year of learning together!
