Confirmation Class Registration
Confirmation is an exciting time in the faith journey of our youth. 7th & 8th graders and older (6th graders are able to join if their parents think they are ready) are invited to dive deeper into their Christian faith while exploring Christian beliefs, church history, and more that ultimately leads to a decision to publicly declare their commitment to Jesus and the church, reaffirming for themselves their baptism vows on Confirmation Sunday in the spring.
If your student is interested in joining the confirmation class this year, please fill out the form below. Classes will meet on Sunday mornings during the school year from 10-10:40 a.m. in between services. If you have any questions, please let Holly Metzger know. (hmetzger@stmarksfindlay.org)
