Youth in the eighth-grade study and learn more about their faith, their church and themselves. Youth, parents, faith partners and the congregation covenant on a faith journey that engages thoughtful conversations at church and home. Weekly gatherings to explore topics range from scripture, history, and traditions like the Nicene Creed to big ideas like the priesthood of all believers, heresy and power. Field trips to mission partners and other communities of faith. Confirmation classes start in August and meet on Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m.
