Confirmation
Confirmation is a time for eighth graders to confirm their baptismal vows, explore their faith and claim it as their own, deepen their relationship with God and discover what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and part of the Presbyterian tradition. Each youth is partnered with a Confirmation Sponsor, an adult church member outside of their family, with whom they can share their faith and questions.

Youth Choir (grades 6th-12th)
REHEARSALS SUNDAY | 5:15-6 PM
Students of all skill levels are welcome to join and bring a friend! Here, youth use their voices to share God’s love, explore their musical abilities, and deepen their faith while building relationships with their peers and discovering what it means to be a leader in the church today through music.
