Confirmation Class

Posted on by

SUNDAYS at 8:45 AM and WEDNESDAYS at 4:30 PM

Our Confirmation program:

  • Confirmation Class SUNDAYS at 8:45 AM and WEDNESDAYS at 4:30 PM
  • 6th-8th Grades
  • 2 year program
  • This year we are studying the Bible – God’s word.

 At Holy Trinity we are very excited for a new year of Confirmation Ministry. Confirmation is a two-year program that is geared to students in their Middle School years. Students are asked to participate for two consecutive years: grades 6-7, grades 7-8 or grades 8-9. During these years youth are developing in so many ways. They are learning about who they are and how they fit into the world. It is a wonderful time to explore their faith and grow spiritually, as well.

It is our hope that students attend class on both Sundays and Wednesdays, however, we understand that this is not always possible. The expectation is that students attend at least one confirmation class each week.

For more information contact Pastor Kristin.
