Confirmation Class
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.

Handbell Huddles!
To allow more people to participate in the JOY of Handbell Ringing, we are once again offering “Handbell Huddles”! With this model, a commitment is made for a specific time period, rather than an entire year. Throughout the 2025-26 program year, we will have five “Huddles,” allowing you to pick the rehearsal and performance time period that works for you. Beginners are welcome; however, we must limit participation to ringers in middle school and above! Thank you in advance, since our handbells really enhance our worship!
