Confirmation Service

Confirmation classes journey together toward their first profession of their intent to live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Confirmation is an opportunity to respond to the grace of God available to us, as acknowledged in baptism, and to promise to live as a person of faith.  It is the first public expression of the individual’s affirmation of baptismal covenant.

The meaning of confirmation is closely related to that of baptism. In baptism, the Holy Spirit marks the person as God’s own. In confirmation, the Holy Spirit strengthens the person in his or her discipleship.
